The Oxto Edit
Oxto AISt. Francis runs one of Sonoma's most committed wine club programs—stay loyal long enough and they'll dedicate an actual vine to you in their vineyard, complete with a plaque. Their Cabernet bottlings pull fruit from wildly different terroirs (cool Russian River Valley, volcanic Moon Mountain, rocky Rockpile) and price accordingly at $75+. The food-and-wine pairings get consistent praise for thoughtful execution.
About
St. Francis owns estate vineyards across three distinct Sonoma AVAs—Russian River Valley, Moon Mountain District, and Rockpile—and bottles single-vineyard Cabernets that showcase each site's personality. Their Lagomarsino vineyard in Russian River Valley produces a richer, chocolate-and-espresso style, while their Moon Mountain fruit goes herbal and structured with graphite minerality. The Rockpile bottling, from Sonoma's smallest AVA, leans toward dusty tannins and savory spice. Long-term wine club members get a vine dedicated to them in the actual vineyard with a mounted plaque—the kind of gesture that builds genuine loyalty. The property offers multi-course food pairings that get high marks for both wine selection and kitchen execution.
