Etchd Magnum

Magnum of the Month - 30% Preferred Pricing

2001 Merlot, Behler Reserve, Sonoma Valley
1.5 Liter Magnum

Planning a party or group dinner?
You should think about grabbing a magnum to display and enjoy of this superb Merlot, named in honor of the Behler family, who first cultivated a portion of the rich Sonoma Valley floor land in the early 1900’s. The land is recognized as St. Francis’ original estate vineyard and original Winery site. Well-drained rock and gravel topped with rich loam ensures abundant concentrated fruit. The valley microclimate, tempered by cooling breezes and morning fogs from both the Pacific and San Francisco Bay, is an essential key in the development of superior complex flavors of cherry, chocolate, coffee, and plum that distinguish this wine. Was $100, NOW $70 - 1.5L

Available at this special price until April 30th by visiting our website and typing in discount code: APRIL, emailing info@stfranciswinery.com, or by calling our Tasting Room at (888) 675-WINE x 242.

Join us for this exclusive event
“A Wild Night in Sonoma At Olives”

You're invited to escape to Sonoma County without leaving the city. Join St. Francis President & CEO Christopher Silva for a "Succulent Springtime Supper" at Olives restaurants in Boston, New York and Washington, DC.

Festivities kick off with a Domaine Carneros Sparkling Rosè reception, followed by a four-course meal specially designed by Chef Todd English to pair with St. Francis' new Wild Oak wines. These wines are proprietary blends of small lots from the St. Francis' best vineyard sources, which emerged in late 2007 to strong accolades from wine critics. Along with the opportunity to indulge in a decadent meal with a noted wine personality, you will receive an exclusive gift package that includes a bottle of the coveted Wild Oak Syrah, signed by winemaker Tom Mackey, an elegant champagne stopper and a copy of Chef Todd's latest cookbook.

These exclusive dinners will be held at Olive's restaurants on the following dates: Washington, DC April 23rd - New York April 24th - Boston, April 25th

Cost: $200 per person, Wine Club Member Discount Price $180
