Cory Gowan, JJ Buckley, April 2012

Medium translucent red with purple tones near the rim. Initially soft, the nose gradually becomes brighter and higher toned, featuring aromas of cassis, cedar, underbrush, vanilla, and mocha, plus hints of mint and sage. Bright and balanced on the palate, with medium body and an alluring richness. A hint of oak and nicely integrated, velvety tannins feature on the finish. Drink from 2012-2015.


Jeff Loo, JJ Buckley, December 2011

Dark purple in color with slight red towards the rim. The nose opens with cassis, plum, raspberry and vanilla, framed by toasted oak, black pepper and coffee beans. Medium to full bodied on the palate, the flavors reveal notes of red fruit, roasted herbs and slight earth tones. While showing well with a bit of air now, give this wine another couple of years in bottle to really display its full potential. A fantastic example of Cinq Cepages.

Black oak tannins mask the chewy, blue fruit of this wine, yielding slowly until it melds into roasted plum flavors, spicy, ripe and still deep blue. It's a plump wine with substance, gaining depth from its blend of five Bordeaux varieties. Cellar-worthy, this requires decanting to bring up its floral scent of violets. For grilled lamb.

Always pretty, always polished, St. Jean's '05 Cinq Cepages is a solid red wine that drinks well now and should develop with a few years in the cellar. It's dry and firm in tannins, with flavors of blackberries, cassis and new smoky oak, marked by a soft texture of finely ground tannins. S.H.
