Description
Joe Martin left behind his successful furniture business after he fell in love with Sonoma Valley, establishing St. Francis Vineyard in 1971. His first plantings were 22 acres of Chardonnay as well as the first acres of Merlot (60, to be precise) in all of the Sonoma Valley. After achieving great success as a grower, Joe opened his own winery in 1979. Expect a mouthful of spiced dark fruit from this award-winning Merlot.

Tasting Notes
'[2018] ... is a sensational vintage for Sonoma. This long, even growing season produced ... incredible top tier quality, a vast selection of absolutely beautiful wines at all price points, and wines that show their place of origin as well as singular characters' (Jeb Dunnuck, May 21, 2020). This classic, vibrant, long Merlot shows cassis, dark fruit, bittersweet chocolate, and oak spice. Drink now through 2026.
