St. Francis

Fanciful Name: Old Vines

Varietal: Zinfandel

Vintage: 2012

Country of Origin: California

Appellation: Sonoma County

Retail Price: $19.99

Tasting Notes: The nose announced its use of oak and was verified on the palate. A fuller-bodied experience. A heavier-handed red influenced by oak with integrated fruit. Definitively showing a warmer, higher-yield vintage.

Our reviewers are given a topic (varietal, drinking occasion, price) six times a year and asked to select 3-5 wines that fit that criteria for review. Wine reviews include brief tasting notes, a rating and the wine’s retail price (which can vary from store to store and market to market). Unless noted otherwise, the price reflects a 750-ml. bottle. If you’re a beverage professional with a specialty in wine and you’re interested in participating in the panel, please contact managing editor Kyle Swartz at kswartz@epgmediallc.com or 203-855-8499 x2225.
