Very young and could do with some years in the bottle. But after decanting: Lush and powerful fruit bomb with dusty tannins, herbal notes, roasted bell peppers and mocha. Super delicious — 7 months ago

My third label from St. Francis. And definitely the best.
You can find a lot in this wine. Liqueur cherry, blueberry, leather, smoke and pepper. If I let my imagination run wild - I would add something herbal. — 3 months ago

No detailed notes. Just a good drink now budget Cabernet from California which drinks to its price point. Blackberry and dark chocolate. A Coppola movie has more complexity 😎 — 3 months ago

Flint, pear, and green apple. Crisp and bright. Not a ton on the nose but lovely on the palate. — 6 months ago

This wine is quite dark in the glass. The nose brings a powerful whiff of dark fruit and earth, with a hint of smoke behind it. The palate offers a rich, full mouthfeel, with flavors of plum, blackberry, and black cherry out front. There is a mineral-laden earthiness to the taste, a savory herbal streak which always attracts me. The finish is medium long and serves as a reminder of the darkness in the sip. Tannins are semi-smooth and acidity is refreshing. The alcohol certainly doesn’t seem like it’s almost 15%. — 8 months ago
