2022 St. Francis Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon
Uno November - 2026
The Autumn Saturday night dinner featured a nice, thick, grilled center cut pork chop, and an excellent bottle of mild mannered Cab from the St. Francis Sonoma vineyard. In the case of this "Slab" and a Cab, you don't want a heavy red, but rather one with a more refined taste. The St. Francis fit the bill!
The wine is a light cherry red in color, and while it contained the usual cherry and cassis flavors, it also is highlighted with the presence of red raspberry. The finish is clean and mid- ranged in body, for a most pleasant send off. The alcohol content is 14.2%. and Norm's score is 90.
This Cab, in addition to being superb with pork, would also pair well with lamb, and would be excellent with Veal Marsala!
score: 90
price : $16 - $21
Now, that's just the way I see it, and you can tell them I said so!
Here's looking at you Kid!
