8555 Red Blend

Red Blend

Sonoma County

First offered in 1999, this red blend is a tribute to our Sonoma Valley home, and the label is actually our address on the Sonoma Highway. Our long history in Sonoma County is reflected here, with each vintage allowing for a blend which is both a tribute to the vintage and the varied growing regions within Sonoma County. Exceptional Reserve lots that showcase the terroir of each region are carefully selected, aged separately and then assembled into a master blend allowed to rest and gain complexity prior to bottling.

Tasting Notes

Each offering of this unique reserve blend shows a distinct personality, influenced by the selection of varietals, growing region and vintage. The 2023 Chateau St. Jean 8555 Cuvée is a masterclass in depth, presenting an expressive and layered aromatic profile that features black currant, blackberry, and black cherry, accented by elegant notes of violet and crushed graphite. On the palate, this medium-plus to full-bodied wine delivers focused dark fruit—highlighting ripe berries, cherries, and plum—delivered through a fleshy and supple mouthfeel. Complex nuances of spice and savory notes emerge mid-palate, all supported by a structured backbone of fine-grained, firm tannins that provide a polished and sophisticated finish.
