title: St. Francis 2007 Anthem Meritage (Sonoma Valley)
description: Very tannic and gritty now. Shuts the fruit down with a dry, sandpapery astringency. But what great fruit. It's rich in blackberries, black cherries, currants, licorice and mocha, and is bone dry. Could and should age, but there's a certain sharpness that makes you wonder.
variety: Meritage
designation: Anthem
