Joe Martin, established St. Francis Vineyard in 1971, planting 22 acres of Chardonnay & 60 acres of Merlot. He opened the winery in 1979 with partner Lloyd Canton. Dark berry fruits, spice & cedar aromas. Black cherry and blackberry flavors with tobacco, oak and vanilla spice. Well structured fine tannins lingering, complex ending with subtle earthy tones. Very Nice, easy drinking will age a bit.
