Winery Exclusives

This is the finest Cabernet Sauvignon crafted at Chateau St. Jean, period. The wine is aged in oak for three years before receiving an additional year of bottle age and its release always comes with joyous anticipation from staff and customers alike. The nose shows deep, dense and rich aromas of black fruits, anise and roasted coffee beans. A big soft entry begins with chocolate covered cherries and blackberries that surround lush tannins and exotic floral notes. Savory spices mixed with cassis and sweet tobacco continue throughout a long finish. This wine is built for ageing and will benefit from five to fifteen additional years in the bottle.  A very impressive cellar selection for the serious collector.

The 2006 Malbec Reserve is an absolute favorite at the winery and with Malbec lovers everywhere.  Our Asti Vineyard, in the Northern part of Sonoma County, enjoys the perfect combination of elements for growing this unique varietal.  The result is a Malbec with very pleasant notes of violet candy with intense, sweet spice on the palate balanced by notes of plums, cassis, blackberries and black cherries. It is creamy, smooth and ripe in the mouth with soft, round tannins and a long silky finish.  Just spectacular!

The Reserve Merlot at Chateau St Jean is one of our finest programs.  Every bottle since we first started making it has been a wonder of bold, striking flavors, perfect structure, and supreme ageablility.  This is the wine we fondly call, "Liquid Velvet in a Glass."

The 2006 vintage continues this fine tradition with one of our absolute best offerings, yet.  Classic chocolate covered cherries with freshly picked black berries, cassis, violet and mocha flavors.  Intense aromas, intense mouthfeel, intense structure.  Beautiful in every way and very, very concentrated, this wine will age for many years to come.

Juicy and mouth-filling, this wine bursts with bright raspberries, blueberries, blackberries and café au lait. Impressive tannins surround a complex core of black fruit and hints of tasty oak that last throughout a long finish. A big, flavorful wine that begs to be enjoyed with a good meal.

Vivid aromas of violets, cherry and lavender with notes of cedar spice jump from this St. Jean Estate Merlot. The plush palate has layers of red cherry jam and mocha flavors. The wine is well structured with supple tannins that compliment the smooth and long finish.

A wonderful combination of classic Alexander Valley and Carneros Chardonnay aromas such as ripe pears, nectarines, lemons and limes leap from the glass on this Reserve Chardonnay. Upon entry, a rich, creamy, viscous, medium-bodied wine fills the mouth with flavors of honeysuckle, perfume, peaches and citrus and surrounds toasted almond and vanilla oak flavors that lead into a long finish.

End of vintage special!

What a wine!!  The Reserve Malbec has been an immediate favorite at the winery and one that sells itself over and over again.  Juicy and lush, it has pleasant notes of violet candy, intense, sweet spice on the palate and notes of plums, cassis, blackberries and black cherries. It is creamy, smooth and ripe in the mouth with soft, round tannins and a long silky finish. If you haven't tried it, pick up a bottle and find out what you've been missing.

This wine is dry, with a mid-level of acidity. The nose offers primary flavor notes of mandarin orange, lime, a little flint, tangerine, and a deep aura of rose. A number of tropical fruit flavor notes poke out from beneath these primary flavors: melon, pineapple and even a touch of banana
