Château St. Jean, Cinq Cepages, Cabernet Sauvignon--Vintage 1997
Napa Valley
"The 1997 Cinq Cepages is a blend of 75 Cabernet Sauvignon and the balance Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, and Petit-Verdot, it boasts a super-complex bouquet of licorice, dried herbs, black currants, spice box, and cherry liqueur. In the mouth, notes of chocolate, new oak, and red and black fruits caress the palate in a medium to full-bodied, succulent style. Aged in 50 new and 50 one-year old French barrels, it is bottled with no fining or filtration. Fleshy and complex, this is California's answer to a big, rich St.-Emilion. Drinkable now, it promises to last for 12-15 years." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Issue 132, Dec 2000
