St. Francis Winery
Sonoma County "Old Vines" Zinfandel
The 2014 St. Francis “Old Vines” Zinfandel has a beautiful nose, showing lush raspberry, black cherry and spice all over the place. The dark palate provides a boatload of black raspberry and blackberry, with a slightly savory spot sneaking its way through the fruit display. It drinks remarkably easy, considering the alcohol number, but has enough tannins for the swordfish, certainly. I could have gone with the filet and been just fine.

Nov 22nd, 2017Bouquet of spicy dark fruits and cherries. Initial taste of quick sweet tart dark cherries. A hint of pepper at the finish. A quick finish. Very drinkable.
