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%. — 5 months ago

Collaboration between Thomas Keller and Schramsberg. Bone dry. Crushed stones and yeast. Ripping acidity. — 3 months ago
One of my all-time favorites. Explosive on the tongue, fruit forward. A lingering aftertaste — 6 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. — 6 days ago
