St. Francis Winery & Vineyards, 2005, This Sonoma Valley Merlot ias a varietal classic with distinctive Sonoma County style-spicy herb and vanilla overtones, which give way to full strong black fruit on the palate, nuanced with chocolate. Its round, generous tannins give it a big finish. $19-24 per 750ML its worth it
