October 11, 2019 - Again, surprised to see an 86 score on CT for this.
Austere, acidic, steely with grippy tannins. Strong alcohol and a bit bitter on the open. Not as fruity and smooth as you would expect from a California merlot. Unoaked. A touch of spice. Good, but not ready for prime time. Needs a few more years in the dark. -

August 19, 2019 - Sonoma County Merlot 2015 St. Francis $15. Sharp, mid-dark garnet; interesting smokey, cocoa and mint nose; mid-body; good Merlot fruit; a little unbalanced; long semi-hot (14.8 alc.) semi-chewy finish. w/burgers, BBQ.

May 18, 2019 - Interesting for its balance but flat. Flavors of cranberry blackberry and some anise. Very muted but balanced. More acidic finish than I expected. Not bad but also not great

January 13, 2019 - Nice wine. Fruit and cinnamon on the pallet with a reasonably firm Foundation of tannins and a long finish.
