St. Francis doesn’t make a lot of different bottlings — they prefer to concentrate on making great wines at affordable prices in quantities that make them easy to find. This is a great Zin — it’s very shy initially, but opens to deep black cherry, with leaf and soft spice notes. There’s great depth and richness in this serious wine. It seems very young, and has a long life ahead. Well done!
