Lot #608. Chateau St. Jean Cabernet Sauvignon Cinq Cepages 1996

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 92 RP.
"The dark ruby/purple-colored 1996 Cinq Cepages (75% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the balance Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec, and Petit Verdot) exhibits a moderately intense nose of black cherries, chocolate, smoke, dried herbs, and toasty oak. As reported last year, it appears to be California's version of a big, rich St.-Emilion. Offering elegance and finesse along with copious quantities of fruit, glycerin, and flavor, this medium to full-bodied wine..." Wine Advocate #127, Feb 2000
Provenance: The Aquamarine Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
