Cinq Cépages is the flagship wine of Chateau St. Jean. Each year, our winemaker selects fruit from outstanding and proven Bordeaux varietal vineyards to craft a wine that showcases the very best of Sonoma County. The primary grape sources for the 2018 vintage are from some of the finest appellations throughout Sonoma County. The majority is from Sonoma Valley, where cabernet sauvignon from the Monte Rosso and Mountain Terraces vineyards in the Moon Mountain add structure, alongside selections from the valley including Chateau St. Jean Estate Vineyard malbec. The Louvau vineyard in Dry Creek offers merlot with lush juiciness and texture, while the Stuhlmuller Vineyard in Alexander Valley brings fruit with savory, dried herb notes and bright berry flavors.
