Description
1996 Chateau St. Jean Cinq Cepages Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma Coast 3 LITER IN WOODEN BOX
1996 was a year of firsts for Cinq Cepages: it was Steve Reeder's first year as winemaker; it was the first year for Chateau St. Jean under Foster's Wine Estates, and it was the year Merlot made its debut as the primary blender with Cabernet Sauvignon. It was also the year that Wine Spectator recognized Cinq Cepages as it's #1 Wine of the Year.
The color of this wine is very dark black-ruby. The nose is deep, with dark fruit and earthy-tobacco notes that follow through to the flavor, marrying with blackberry and mocha. This is a classy wine, with the roasted coffee and cigar box notes that characterize an aged Bordeaux-style blend. Stored properly, this Cinq Cepages will continue on the drinking plateau for years to come.
