We sipped St. Francis wines as we explored the many expressions of Sonoma County through wine, food, and conversation.<\/p>\n<h1>St. Francis Winery &amp; Vineyards<\/h1>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Founded in 1971 by businessman Joe Martin and his wife, Emma, the 100-acre vineyard known as Behler Ranch located in Kenwood in Sonoma Valley was purchased. Fruit from the vineyard was sold to local wineries until 1979 when the winery was built to produce estate-bottled wine. <strong>The Martins named the winery St. Francis as an homage to St. Francis of Assisi, \u201cpatron saint of animals and protector of the natural world.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_23642\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-12003\" src=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/St.-Francis-vineyards.jpg\" alt=\"St. Francis vineyards\" width=\"350\" height=\"471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/St.-Francis-vineyards.jpg 350w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/St.-Francis-vineyards-223x300.jpg 223w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/St.-Francis-vineyards-111x150.jpg 111w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/St.-Francis-vineyards-175x236.jpg 175w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/>Now, St. Francis owns 415 acres of Sonoma County Estate Vineyards in <strong>Russian River Valley and Sonoma Valley.<\/strong> The winery has also fostered long-term relationships with growers throughout the County\u2019s wine growing areas. By sourcing grapes from Carneros, Dry Creek Valley, Rockpile, and Alexander Valley, the team at St. Francis has access to premium fruit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">There were only a few wineries in Sonoma when St. Francis Winery began bottling their estate wines. In 1983, Winemaker Tom Mackey helped \u201cpioneer a Sonoma Valley style\u201d and determine the grape varieties well suited to the soils. The winery was the first in the region to plant and bottle Merlot and soon thereafter, added Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel to the portfolio.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">With a commitment to sustainability, the winery is certified by the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance and in 2017, St. Francis received a Green Medal award from the California Wine Institute thanks to their community involvement.<\/p>\n<h2>St. Francis Sonoma County Chardonnay 2019<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Katie Madigan<\/strong> is Winemaker for Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Old Vines Zinfandel, and Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel at St. Francis Winery &amp; Vineyards. Unofficially known as the \u201cBurgundy\u201d winemaker, she assumed the Winemaker role in 2012, having been a member of the team for a total of 19 years. Katie explained that she wants Chardonnay to be a light \u201con the best of Sonoma County.\u201d She knows that sites, soils, and growing conditions in the area \u2013 from the Russian River Valley to the Sonoma Coast to Carneros and to the Alexander Valley \u2013 are different, and shared that \u201cfruit characteristics in the Chardonnay are the most important element.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-11996 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Katie-Madigan-and-St.-Francis-Sonoma-County-Chardonnay-wine-bottle.jpg\" alt=\"Katie Madigan and St. Francis Sonoma County Chardonnay wine bottle\" width=\"850\" height=\"813\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Katie-Madigan-and-St.-Francis-Sonoma-County-Chardonnay-wine-bottle.jpg 850w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Katie-Madigan-and-St.-Francis-Sonoma-County-Chardonnay-wine-bottle-300x287.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Katie-Madigan-and-St.-Francis-Sonoma-County-Chardonnay-wine-bottle-150x143.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Katie-Madigan-and-St.-Francis-Sonoma-County-Chardonnay-wine-bottle-768x735.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Katie-Madigan-and-St.-Francis-Sonoma-County-Chardonnay-wine-bottle-175x167.jpg 175w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Katie-Madigan-and-St.-Francis-Sonoma-County-Chardonnay-wine-bottle-450x430.jpg 450w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 850px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 850\/813;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The wine we enjoyed was superb: 100% Chardonnay are from St. Francis\u2019 estate vineyards in Sonoma Valley and Russian River Valley, along with those from growers in Carneros and Alexander Valley. On the vibrant nose and palate, this elegant, refreshing wine burst with notes of pear, tropical fruit, green apple, lemon zest, and the slightest hint of baking spices. Creamy and light with moderate acidity on the palate, the mineral-driven finish was lush and lingering. A classic California Chardonnay, the wine was aged for 7 months in 100% French oak. We can find the Chardonnay in 375 ml and 750 ml bottles as well as in kegs.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_23646\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\">\n<h2>St. Francis Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma County 2018<\/h2>\n<p>If Katie Madigan is the \u201cBurgundy\u201d winemaker, then <strong>Chris Louton\u2019s<\/strong> role is the \u201cBordeaux\u201d winemaker.

On a solid foundation of soft tannins and moderate acidity, find this wine in 375 ml and 750 ml bottles as well as in kegs (like the Chardonnay).<\/p>\n<h2>Executive Chef Peter Janiak Pairs St. Francis Chardonnay with Dungeness Crab Salad<\/h2>\n<p>Chef Peter Janiak stepped in with a mouthwatering recipe for <a href=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wine-summer-crab-recipes\/\">Dungeness Crab, Summer Tomato &amp; Sweet Corn Salad<\/a> to complement every sip of the Sonoma County Chardonnay. Peter has been with St. Francis for only a year, during which time he successfully manages the winery\u2019s culinary programs and oversees its 2-acre organic vegetable and herb gardens.
