An old zin, “lost” in the cellar was found tonight. This 2014 is still holding on and was great with burgers to welcome in spring. Tight at the beginning, but opened up nicely with the meal. Jammy, but not muted. If you have it still, I wouldn’t wait much longer, but continue to be impressed by St. Francis!

From 20 min after popping the cork (and for 2 hours after), this wine scintillated the senses with black jammy fruits and just enough tannin to make for an unctuous mouthfeel. Delightful bottle to share with a St Francis Zin newbie. Glad I have another.

A scintillating heady wine shared by 4 at an Italian dinner. Black fruits with some peppery ending. Kudos St Francis!!

Not favorite. Tastes a little off. Need to see if breathing time makes a difference.

Very nice nose, dark fruit, chocolate and medium spice on the palate.
