ST. FRANCIS SONOMA COUNTY CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2021

St. Francis Winery & Vineyards has championed Sonoma County's diverse terroir since 1971, when founder Joe Martin first planted vineyards in this prime California growing region. Their sustainably farmed Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the appellation's unique character with balanced, vibrant expression of classic dark red fruits and berries complemented by intriguing notes of black licorice, cocoa powder, dried sage, and toast. Well-integrated oak provides excellent structure while maintaining elegant balance throughout the smooth, lingering finish. The medium-bodied palate delivers ripe black currant flavors alongside spicy tobacco and cedar nuances—creating a versatile wine that pairs beautifully with aged blue cheese, beef, roast pork, and venison. This approachable Cabernet perfectly represents St. Francis' five-decade commitment to crafting wines that authentically reflect Sonoma's finest mountain and valley vineyards.
