This Reserve Malbec bursts forth with vivid aromas of black cherry, fresh blackberry and blackcurrant, followed by hints of clove and a bright essence of violets. The nose leads to a lush palate with powerful, grainy tannins that will smooth with age.

Production Notes

Overall, 2017 proved to be slightly smaller yielding vintage but of exceptional quality. Warm late summer temperatures led to a quick and intense harvest. Fruit was allowed to mature and ripen perfectly on the vines before harvest officially began.

Vineyard Notes

Chateau St. Jean’s Reserve wines are crafted by selecting vineyard lots from throughout Sonoma County that offer the most generous fruit expression and the ability to age.
