This deep, ruby-hued St. Francis Old Vines Zinfandel from Sonoma County is a delightful, concentrated and generous wine. The nose offers aromas of ripe raspberry, blackberry, anise, clove, and sweet spice. The palate is full-bodied and lush, with flavors of black raspberry, cherry, wild strawberry, and hints of licorice and mocha. The tannins are silky, yet firm, and the finish is long and juicy. This wine is ready to enjoy now, with its vibrant fruit and elegant structure, but will also age gracefully for up to five years.
