Sonoma Valley Reserve Merlot | St. Francis Winery 2021

Indulge in the Velvety Richness of Sonoma Valley’s Finest Reserve Merlot

Experience the luxurious depth of our 2021 Reserve Merlot, meticulously crafted by St. Francis Winery from premium Sonoma County vineyards. This full-bodied red wine greets you with sumptuous aromas of toasted plum pudding, rich espresso, and dark licorice. On the palate, discover layers of complex flavor – decadent mocha, ripe blackberry, and indulgent baking chocolate – culminating in an impressively long, satisfying finish that lingers beautifully.

Sourced exclusively from our prized Wild Oak and Behler Estate Vineyards in Sonoma Valley’s heart, this Merlot captures the essence of its unique terroir. Nestled between the protective Sonoma Mountains and Mayacamas range, our valley floor vines bask in warm sunshine tempered by cool Pacific breezes and evening fog. This ideal cool climate viticulture allows grapes to develop profound flavor intensity and aromatic complexity. For added structure and elegance, we carefully blend fruit from high-elevation Sonoma Mountain vineyards, enhancing the wine’s richness and remarkable length.

Perfect for savoring now or cellaring, this 14.9% alcohol Reserve Merlot embodies the pinnacle of California winemaking – offering exceptional quality and a truly memorable tasting journey from Sonoma’s distinctive landscape.
