Jammy and generous but not blowsy, this Zin is loaded with blackberry and cherry flavors that are accented with hints of pepper and licorice

Earthy, toasty aromas lead to good, rich black fruit and dark chocolate flavors in this full-bodied and solidly tannic wine. Affordably priced, and deeper and more structured than many other Merlots, this wine reverberates more like a Cabernet.

Ultraripe but still nice and dry, this gentle giant feels soft and velvety while cradling late-picked plums, blackberries and oak spices in soft tannins. Best now

This midnight purple colored red blend from St. Francis opens with a craisin and black raspberry bouquet with hints of eucalyptus and oak. On the palate, this wine is full bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, smooth, and savory. The flavor profile is blackberry and stewed black plum blend with notes of stony minerality, black tea and toasted oak. I also detected hints of black pepper, dark chocolate, and spice. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity and moderate chewy tannins stick around for a while

This dark ruby colored “Anniversary Edition” Merlot from St. Francis is very good. It opens with a graphite and gentle pomegranate bouquet with hints of boysenberry and moist pipe tobacco. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round and fresh. The flavor profile is graphite, dark chocolate, and red currant blend with notes of green tea and craisin. I also detected hints of pomegranate and a dash of black pepper. The finish is dry, and its well managed moderate dusty tannins are nicely prolonged.
