St. Francis Merlot Reserve Nunn's Canyon Vineyard 1997

Sonoma Valley, Sonoma County, California, United StatesSpicy clove vanilla cherry jam aromas with just a hint of green olive and smoke. Very rich attack on the palate, round full-bodied merlot here with lots of tannin. Spicy earth and cherry cola with some coffee too. Good complexity and length and bigger structure that we've seen from St. Francis.Tasted: 01 March 2000Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
