St. Francis Sonoma County Red Blend 2021

"Within the refuge of the cottage a fire dances in the wood burning stove while outside a coastal storm rages. The windows show you redwoods and sassafras trees being assailed by rain. You pick up your book to settle in for the afternoon and take in a long breath. Scents of dark cherry, chocolate shavings, and baking spices linger in the air from the morning’s baking project and they meld with the more savory aromas of herbs de provence and white pepper from the kitchen. As you exhale you happily ease into quietude." —winemaker

"Tapestry Red Blend bursts with aromas of ripe blueberry and blackberry with hints of sage, lavender, and cedar. Rich and smooth on the palate and balanced by structured tannins and fresh acidity, enjoy Tapestry with pasta, cheese, red meats... or any time you’re celebrating with friends and loved ones." —winemaker

Blend: 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 15% Malbec, 5% Petit Verdot

"Aromas of raspberry and Bing cherry are complemented by notes of leather and licorice. On the palate, dark fruit flavors are brightened by hints of black pepper, leading to a balanced, smooth finish." —winemaker

"The Quest Cabernet Franc Blend is an exciting and unique wine. This blend displays a beautiful herbaceous nose of anise seed, warm chocolate, and fresh mint. On the palette flavors of black fruit, dark chocolate, and slightly earthy nuance of leather are present. On the finish, soft fine tannins leave a light coat on the palette and mingle with a delicate touch of acidity that balance the wine allowing the flavors to linger." —winemaker

"A punchy, spicy blend of zinfandel (80%), barbera (15%) and Alicante Bouschet (5%). The Zinfandel and Alicante were sourced from the Bedrock Vineyard in Sonoma. The fruit was from adjacent blocks so we picked both on the same day, co-fermenting them together. Traditionally this fruit has always been the base for our red table wine. We then blended in a few barrels of Barbera to level up the acidity and aromatics." —winemaker

"This plush and luxurious red offers alluring aromas of cassis, black raspberry, cherry and nutmeg, as well as French oak-inspired hints of clove and allspice. On the palate, it is robust and full-bodied, with rich, silky tannins framing the lush blackberry and sweet Rainier cherry flavors as they glide to a dark and delicious finish." —winemaker

"House of cards is rich and flavorful. Red and dark fruits are apparent in the nose with Plum, Cherry and Blueberry tones. The aroma is elegant and shows subtle signs of oak nuance. The pallet explodes with deep deliciousness! The finish lingers and invites a second glass or two. Invite your favorite friends to try." —winemaker
