During the month of January, the Wednesday Wine Committee has a unique format...the sparkler, whites and dessert wines can be from any vintage and any location, but the reds must be from the 2007 vintage. It was my first time providing a wine for a lunch, so I was excited to see how it showed. As always, all wines were served blind.
The nose on this smelled of sweet American oak. Because of that, I leaned Spanish or Italian. Per Lloyd from Dumb & Dumber, “I was way off!” Very surprised to see this was from Napa. Vanilla dominated nose. Red, blue and black fruit on the palate. A fairly sweet finish. — 8 years ago
Oh my god. Tried this wine in a standard white wine glass versus a burgundy glass and what a difference. Lloyd knows his flavours and how to bring out the best. Great wine and what an amazingly dedicated and detailed winemaker — 9 years ago

Joe Martin, established St. Francis Vineyard in 1971, planting 22 acres of Chardonnay & 60 acres of Merlot. He opened the winery in 1979 with partner Lloyd Canton. Dk berry fruits, spice & cedar aromas. Black cherry and blackberry flavors with tobacco, oak and pepper spice. Well structured firm tannins (needs decanting) lingering, complex ending with subtle earthy tones. Very Nice, easy drinking will age a bit. — 8 years ago
