St. Francis
'RED'
Proprietary Blend, Sonoma Valley


What we thought about this wine:

It is all in it's detailed description. Very nice wine for outdoor spiced meals, meats, BBQ and or red meat cookouts.

The spiced oak is prevelent as with the varried berries, plum and grapes. A bit of a medium-heavy full bodied wine.

Clean, translucent dark ruby - purple. Lingering pleasant flavor begining to end.

Kudos to St. Francis Winery on this very robust full flavor blended RED. Definately one of the best.

We are giving this a rating of 86

Turner Road Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2002; Paso Robles, California

Clean fruity aromatic nose with some chocolate among the berries and a hint of pleasing well balanced but defined tannins.

On the palate, very smouth and fruity leaving the palate desiring more. Full bodied flavor with a well balanced plumb, pear, and blackberry soft backing and tainted perfectly within it a very faint but precious spiced and suttle oak.

The residual flavors and blends are so pleasant that it leaves the mouth with desires to again tantilize the buds.

Light-Medium Body and Delightful.Color is clean dark redish/purple. Excellent with Chocolates or Cheese.

Very under rated at 88 PTS and priced on average of  $9.99 - $11.99

This is one Cab you don't want to pass up an opportunity to relish a fine flavored experience with.

My rating of this fine Cabernet Sauvignon 92 PTS

Sutter Home Zinfandel (White)

We love this Zinfandel above Sutterhome. Why? Because it tastes great. A real fruity full bodied Zinfandel without the acid and risk of heartburn. Sutterhome has often been so on the acidic side that heartburn displeasures the Zinfandel experience wherby Ernest And Gallo has pleasantly exhibited there low acid Zinfandel. We opened the 2003 vintage at room temperate of 69 degrees and food it very enjoyable with Sharp Cheddar Cheese. There is delightful flavor from the sart to finish of the glass of wnie and the after taste just as pleasant.
