Score 87/100 · Drink 2000-2006, Robert Parker, Dec 2000
Readers seeking a super buy in Merlot should check out Chateau St. Jean's 1998 Merlot (blended with 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc). It offers aromas of melted fudge, smoke, and berries, a round, concentrated mid-palate, and a chewy, fleshy finish. While not complex, it delivers plenty of fruit in an uncomplicated format. Drink it over the next 5-6 years. Tel. (707) 833-4134; Fax (707) 833-4200
