- Drew - 03-29-2011 Sonoma, 95% zin, 5% Petite Sirah I hadn't sought out St. Francis wines for many years due to, IMO, overpowering oak. This wine was a very nice surprise. Decanted for 2 hours prior to pouring. Very dark, not opaque, in the glass. Concentrated brambly raspberry, currant and blackberry flavors with hints of herb and chocolate. Really quite nice and just a hint of oak on the lingering finish. 15.4% Alc/vol. Bought a six pack case deal for $13 per. - wondersofwine - 03-31-2011 I had the heavily oaked issue with St. Francis in the past also. Great price on those. |
