St. Francis Claret Sonoma County (75cl)

A red wine from Sonoma County made in the claret style, blending Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Each variety is fermented separately and the sets are kept separate for oak maturation, with blending taking place six months before bottling. The blend changes with each vintage. It is matured for 24 months in oak barrels. The wine shows currants, red and black berries and spice, with a full-bodied palate and a velvety mouthfeel. It is suggested with roast beef, lamb, duck and aged cheeses.
