St. Francis Wines
DAYS LEFT OF NATIONAL SERVICE DOG MONTH
Celebrate this National Service Dog Month with St. Francis
and the Canine Companion Pros!
As you may know, St. Francis is the patron saint of animals
and the environment. In that tradition, St. Francis is proud to be a certified
sustainable winery that supports animal related causes, like Canine Companions.
For every bottle of St. Francis you purchase, we donate $1
to Canine Companions to help enhance the lives of people with disabilities.
Canine Companions provides highly trained service dogs at no charge. Since
2021, St. Francis has donated $300,000 to this worthy cause.
For over 50 years St. Francis wines have reflected the
finest mountain and valley vineyards in Sonoma County. Winery founder Joe
Martin fell in love with Sonoma Valley and established St. Francis Vineyard in
1971, planting 22 acres of Chardonnay and the first 60 acres of Merlot in
Sonoma Valley.
Today, winemakers Katie Madigan and Chris Louton, along with
viticulturist Jake Terrell, continues the long tradition of delicious wines
from Sonoma County grapes, farmed from more than 400 acres of Certified
Sustainable estate vineyards in Sonoma Valley and Russian River Valley, each
with varying compositions of loam, clay, and volcanic soils.

Cabernet Sauvignon
Lively and expressive, this Cabernet shows off layered aromatics and rich flavors. Dark red fruits, wild berries and black cherry notes are complemented with spicy accents of clove, licorice and a bit of ground espresso bean. The concentrated flavors and smooth tannins are balanced with a thread of acidity for a long, juicy finish.
Winemaker: Chris Louton

This elegant and refreshing Chardonnay bursts with bright flavors and aromas of fresh picked pear, juicy fuji apple, lemon zest and graham cracker. A creamy mouthfeel greets a touch of minerality on the long, crisp finish.
Winemaker: Katie Madigan
Pinot Noir
This bright, medium-bodied Pinot Noir shows off an abundance of red cherry and baking spice aromas followed by a burst of flavors with notes of pomegranate, strawberry preserves, fresh raspberry and black tea. This expressive wine has a lengthy finish with a note of toasted nut and orange zest.

This classic, rich Merlot reveals a deep color and broad structure. Aromas of cassis, plum and dried currant merge with layered flavors of dark berries, espresso bean and bittersweet chocolate. The wine has a long, vibrant finish with a note of spice.
