St. Francis 2002 Claret Red (Sonoma County)

Country: US / Claret
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend California
Winery: St. Francis / Sonoma County

At five years, the wine still retains some charm, but is showing its age. It’s a little tired in structure, and the fruit is fading, turning dry and leathery. But there’s cherries and cassis, with some complexity in the finish. Drink now.
