Description
St. Francis Reserve Zinfandel 750ML
Weighty, yet elegant, this Zinfandel has a deep, rich color and spicy aromas of clove, vanilla and cherry galette that precede mouth-filling flavors of dark, crushed berries, melted chocolate and baking spices. Velvety in texture, this is an opulent Zin with a long finish. Excellent with goat cheese, Asian style seafood and pork. Blend: 90% Zinfandel, 10% Petite Sirah The 2015 Zinfandel Reserve is a beautiful Zinfandel that does everything right. Plum sauce, cedary spice, and dried orange peel aromas, medium to full body, silky tannin, and an incredible elegance all define this deep purple-colored beauty. While it’s hard to resist today, it’s going to cruise for a decade or more given its balance and harmony. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Zinfandel Reserve Dry Creek Valley has a nose of baked berries, spice and raisin cake with notes of dried flowers and dusty soil. The palate is full-bodied, big and rich with chewy tannins, tart fruit and a long finish. Brimming with a sweetness of baked cherry and molasses, this is a soft, rounded and robustly ripe wine that carries its weight well. A touch of structured, high-toned acidity complements the power and outer reaches of excess, allowing the experience on the palate to speak.
