Day #238 of the year.

St. Francis Sonoma County Merlot

Tuesdays are the forgotten days of the week. It’s too far from the weekend on either side to remember exactly where you are. It’s time we make Tuesday a day (or night) to remember by having a glass of St. Francis Sonoma County Merlot 2017. Silky tannins, hints of oak, subtle notes of plum… is it me, or is this Tuesday starting to feel like a Friday?

Sonoma County, California

Grapes

Merlot

Tasting Notes

Smooth and elegant with classic flavors and aromas of cherry, chocolate and plum. Its silky structure is balanced by soft tannins and a bold, lengthy finish.
