St. Francis' big, oaky, chocolatey style is evident in the Merlot. The 1994 Merlot Estate Reserve exhibits a saturated dark ruby color, followed by intensely smoky, oaky, jammy black cherry and chocolate aromas and flavors. This full-bodied, chewy, fleshy, soft, opulently-styled wine should drink well for 7-8 years.
