St Francis Winery Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Wine Information & How to Pronounce Château Le Pin? Pomerol, Bordeaux, French Pronunciation

An elegant Cabernet, it shows off firm structure, generous tannins, and depth of color along with aromas and flavors of ripe black currant, spicy tobacco and cedar are accompanied by full body and firm structure. An excellent companion to aged blue cheese, beef, roast pork and venison.

The grapes for the Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon originate from four different appellations within Sonoma County. These carefully selected vineyards contribute individual qualities to the finished wine. For this thick-skinned and late-ripening variety, harvest often occurs from late October through November. All grapes are hand harvested, gently destemmed and crushed, then undergo fermentation separately by variety in temperature-controlled tanks. After both primary and malolactic fermentation are complete, the wines are each racked to their own barrel lot. Then the blend is made and the wine matures in bottle prior to release.

To Kalon Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

This is the eighth vintage of our To Kalon Vineyard-designated Reserve. Each year our blend reflects the First Growth quality of this singular vineyard. The Reserve is blended from the finest blocks within the To Kalon Vineyard, and meticulously crafted by keeping each block or sub-block separate through fermentation and aging, until we create the blend the following year.

The wine is deep, vivacious, juicy, and flows beautifully from start to finish. Very enjoyable now, but with a long future ahead.
