St. Francis Winery

Montecillo Vineyard Kaarin's Terrace Zinfandel 2012

Small production vineyard at 1400' in Sonoma produces a huge Zinfadel that starts big and gets bigger as it goes. Tons of berry, but a bit young and explosive yet. Lay it down for a year or two. Sorry for the unintentional Pope reference. — 9 years ago
