Country: US / Cinq Cepages
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Chateau St. Jean / Sonoma County
Always pretty, always polished, St. Jean’s ’05 Cinq Cepages is a solid red wine that drinks well now and should develop with a few years in the cellar. It’s dry and firm in tannins, with flavors of blackberries, cassis and new smoky oak, marked by a soft texture of finely ground tannins.
