Editorial Reviews for Chateau St. Jean Cabernet Sauvignon California
Fresh and fruit driven on the nose if not fruity with red currant and wild herb notes supported by vanilla, dill and coconut oak. Rather fresh on entry, this layers on black cherry and blackberry fruit over well-measured oak that adds some nuanced savory notes without being too assertive. The tannins are a bit dry, which keeps this firm and fresh right through the firm finish where the wood becomes more obvious, but the black cherry fruit with hints of dried minty herbs never looses the upper hand. A fine little Cab for the money. 87pts
User Reviews for Chateau St. Jean Cabernet Sauvignon California
Add your reviewVery nice, middle of the road Cab from Cali for a great price. Dark ruby red. Muted aromas but opens with times. Smells of red berry and faint oak. Medium bodied and fruit forward. Well balanced acidity with hints of round tannins with touches of dark cherry. Medium finish. Well done.
External Reviews for Chateau St. Jean Cabernet Sauvignon California
As Napa Cabernets go, Chateau St. Jean's effort is both very high quality and a great value. Dark red fruits dominate the palate and are rounded out by hints of vanilla and coffee bean. Full bodied and well-balanced, the tannins are balanced at the end by a nice oaky, earthy finish.
Wine DescriptionDelicious fruity aromas of boysenberry and cassis join with complex spicy notes of nutmeg and coco nibs. Rich body with well structured tannins and an excellent finish. - WineryFood RecommendationsServe our Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon with rich pasta dishes, lamb and steak.Composition:88% Cabernet Sauvignon6% Merlot3% Syrah2% Petit Verdot1% Cabernet Franc Appellation: Sonoma CountyAging: 22 months in French, Eastern European and American oak barrelsAcid/pH: 6.3/3.55Alcohol: 13.5%Production: 54,000 casesBottled: September 2011 & January 2012
Enticing aromas of dark berries and vanilla waft from the glass of this inky garnet wine. Elegant and smooth, the rich palate is loaded with cassis, black cherry and spice.
It may have a statewide appellation, but this wine showcases the winery's skill in crafting complex Cabs at all price levels. With blackberry, cassis, coffee and oak flavors and long, dry, finish, it's a fine, very drinkable wine.
Rich, ripe and juicy, with excellent black fruits and subtle tobacco and coffee notes. Soft and opulent for easy drinking, yet concentrated and complex without breaking the bank! A consistently great value in California Cabernet.
Dense and concentrated, with rich, earthy currant and blackberry fruit thatrsquo;s a little muddled and lacking a sharp focus. Still, it speaks clearly of Cabernet with its concentration and depth. New California appellation Cabernet from St. Jean. Drink now through 2008.
Winemaker's Notes:
Kenwood Vineyards’ Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon is primarily sourced from vineyards located in the Alexander, Dry Creek, and Sonoma Valleys. Each vineyard lot is kept separate throughout fermentation and aging to preserve the unique flavors of the individual vineyards that are brought together for the final blend. The 2009 growing season began with a cool, dry spring followed by a mild summer. In late September a warm indian summer brought the Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards to ripeness and each vineyard was carefully picked as it reached its optimum maturity. After fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine was aged in French, Eastern European and American oak barrels for 22 months. Before bottling, small amounts of other Bordeaux varieties were added to the final blend to give the wine balance and complexity. This produced a rich and multifaceted wine that is enjoyable now as well as for several years to come.
