Chateau St. Jean
Cinq Cépages Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon
Very old world in style but holding up well , would have pegged it for a well aged Bordeaux

Ranked #2 WOTN for me. Such a surprise. More French than California.

Oct 31st, 2017I’m rating this high just for the reason that most would not expect this Sonoma Blend to last this long & taste so good. No bricking whatsoever, plenty of fruit left with no stewed fruits on the nose.
I remember buying the 1995 when it first hit the store shelves for $25.00, it was the first time paying more than $15.00 for a bottle of wine! The only reason I bought it was because I liked the name🙄 turned out to be a very good rookie purchase unlike most of my rookie mistakes.
