Luscious and layered blackberry jam with a velvety texture, elevated by the warmth of mocha and vanilla notes. The addition of dried herbs, nutmeg, and black pepper adds richness and a gentle bitterness, making it a versatile pairing for both sweet and savory dishes.

What the web is saying

St. Francis Merlot is praised for its rich, full-bodied character with notes of blackberry, plum, and chocolate. Many appreciate its smooth, velvety texture and balanced tannins, making it versatile for pairing. While some find its finish lacking, others highlight its complexity and value. The wine's aromas of oak and spice add depth, appealing to both casual drinkers and connoisseurs.

Voss Experts4.0

This St. Francis Merlot is a complex and balanced red wine with great depth and character. On the nose, aromas of ripe blackberry, plum, and black cherry are lightly accented by notes of nutmeg and cocoa. On the palate, flavors of dark red fruit, toasted oak, and baking spices are expertly woven together and lead to a long and lingering finish. Enjoy this great Merlot with a variety of dishes ranging from roasted lamb to grilled portabello mushrooms.
