St. Francis 2021 St Francis Sonoma Red 750 mL

Five distinctive varietals were chosen for this blend. After harvest and delivery to the crush pad, the grapes were sent to separate tanks for a cold soak to develop optimal color and flavor. The Syrah and Mourvedre fermented in open top tanks while the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot went to closed-top tanks. Destined for this blend, the small percentage of Malbec co-fermented with some of the Cabernet Sauvignon before all varietals were aged in French oak barrels and masterfully blended for taste and balance before bottling.
