About the winery · St. Francis Winery & Vineyards ›
St. Francis Winery & Vineyards focuses this Cabernet on Sonoma County, drawing from estate and grower vineyards across several parts of the county. The producer presents the wine as a full-bodied but balanced Cabernet, shaped by Sonoma's warm days and cool, fog-influenced nights. Winemaker Chris Louton keeps lots separate before blending, using French oak to support the wine's dark fruit, cedar, and spice profile.
Critic reviews
87/100Wine Enthusiast
“Aromas of roasted plums, sour cherry, currant, and black peppercorns; ripe raspberry, milk chocolate, caramel, and toasty barrel spice on the palate.”
