St. Francis 2005 Old Vines Zinfandel: Review


Pagani Vineyard Sonoma Valley
14.8% abv
St. Francis Winery
Santa Rosa, California, USA
$55.00 at a restaurant / around $28 online

Appearance: an attractive deep purple

Aroma: nice mix of red and dark berries on the nose with a hint of spice box.

Flavors: Oh, a good cinnamon and nutmeg pie spice greets my palate.  A smooth dark cherry and mulberry likeness and a slight toasted vanilla oak note mixes with a creamy 60% like dark chocolate.  Very tasty. 

Mouthfeel: silky smooth as the wine glides across the tongue with a pleasing cherry-berry aftertaste.

My Strength Rating: 4.5

I think if you can find this wine for around $25 it is a good buy
