A little aged and integrating nicely. Still plenty of fruit but mellowed tannins - great balance.

This is really under-rated. I can see why. You need to want this. The initial blackberry is immediately overtaken by a heaping amount of road tar and tobacco. It's awesome, but not for everyone. Velvety mouthfeel, but the tannins remain powerful on the finish. Needs some more time to settle down. WS Top 100. Terrific value here. Practically stole this for $20.

1976 Chateau St. jean Cabernet Sauvignon is a balanced, rich Cab, ready to drink, and with plenty of life left.

Founded in 1973 in the Sonoma Valley, Chateau St. Jean produces an extensive portfolio of Sonoma County wine, including the award winning Cinq Cépages, a Bordeaux style blend of “five varieties." Dark red with black fruit aromas and spice. On the palate jammy flavors of blackberry and cherry with cacao and tobacco. Tannins are grainy with high acidity on medium finish.

Waiting to enjoy this. Enjoyed this on Christmas Eve 2021. Easy to pair with tri-tip dinner, nothing over done or too strong about it.
