This is a typical St. Francis Zinfandel ... dark ruby/purple-colored with tons of toasty American oak as well as jammy ripe blackberry and cherry flavors infused with licorice, herbs, and smoke. It is a full-bodied, low acid, decadently fruited and wooded wine with an unmistakable "made in California" personality. It should be drunk in its exuberant, robust youth ... over the next 3-4 years.
