Chateau St. Jean

Reserve Sonoma County Chardonnay 2016

Think I have the right one...high expectations here for some reason but very mediocre. Oaky with a metallic finish. Mellowed a bit after awhile but still. 14.4% no surprise. No cinq cepages here — 3 years ago

Pasta met tomaat en avocado
Wat een geweldige wijn, zeker voor die prijs.
Viognier en Chardonnay. Mooi goudgeel, vol van smaak. Vettig, rokerig fruit, beetje zoetig, zure nasmaak
10.50 eur, vinatis.

Chateau St. Jean

Cinq Cépages Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon 1997

I’m rating this high just for the reason that most would not expect this Sonoma Blend to last this long & taste so good. No bricking whatsoever, plenty of fruit left with no stewed fruits on the nose.

I remember buying the 1995 when it first hit the store shelves for $25.00, it was the first time paying more than $15.00 for a bottle of wine! The only reason I bought it was because I liked the name🙄 turned out to be a very good rookie purchase unlike most of my rookie mistakes.

That’s two highly rated Sonoma Cabernets for you this weekend. 1997 was a grand Napa vintage. So, there is that but St Jean & especially A Raf make wines that age well. Glad you enjoyed this one.

Fortunate enough to taste this lovely wine 11 years after its vintage and it was singing. #napa #pnv Only 5 cases produced. “This wine showcases our 200 acres of estate vineyards by using a blend of the five classic Bordeaux grapes from five landmark Napa Valley appellations. Deeply fruited and elegantly structured, this wine combines nuance and power for a classic bottling. Our Premiere Napa Valley bottling showcases rich texture and deep complexity. Aromas of ripe blackberry, Bing cherry, clove and star anise leap from the glass and balance a dense palate of black plum, cassis and toasty cocoa with a smooth finish framed by dusty tannins.

Domaine Jamet

Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2012

Number One wine of a five wine blind tasting with 5 different grape varieties.

What a beautiful wine. The nose is complex, elegant with violets, white pepper and some animal and slightly meaty scent. The wine is gorgeous, powerful, complex, dark fruit that is lush and velvety silky tannins on a tremendous finish. 93-94

Premier vin facilement lors d’une dégustation à l’aveugle de cinq cépages à la maison.

Un nez complexe et magnifique de violettes, poivre blanc, touche animale et viandeuse. Une bouche complexe aussi mais tellement avenante, puissante mais gourmande et généreuse avec une superbe texture, belle longue finale. 93-94

@Benoit Duhamel oui effectivement, le “line-up” était “moyen”, le but de comparer et découvrir les cépages à l’aveugle, on a eu 5/5. Le Jamet l’a emporté facilement. Pour la prochaine, le “line-up” va être plus solide. Haha!
