St. Francis Winery Chardonnay

St. Francis Winery

Sonoma County Merlot 2021

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%. — 3 months ago

Hot tub-! Meaning, Macon in the hot tub. Which also means that any wine tasted in hot tub conditions deserves better, & at least some recognition the hot tub distorts. Still, a lithe, Meyer lemon & mineral palate. Helps actually to be in, yes, the hot tub to loosen up the dimensionality. Would go back to this. — 5 months ago

I know, I should really be ashamed of myself. Maybe a better review would be that a very modest, well made Macon was obscured by environmental conditions. Plus I grew up up w Eddie Murphy comedy- & he did a very good James Brown skit. Pls forgive me…@Peter van den Besselaar
