2018 St Francis Merlot Reserve 750 Ml HAWAII and hand-selected from our CrownThe fruit for this Reserve wine is sourced from the northern end of Dry Creek Valley, a renowned Zinfandel growing region. The Zinfandel was picked in late August when flavors were at their peak. Added to the blend was Petite Sirah picked in mid September. Its thick skins and hefty tannins add color and texture to the wine while also contributing balance and length. The grapes were hand sorted and underwent an extended cold soak for five days.
