Tasting note:

Long recognized for producing quality Cabernet Sauvignon, Chateau St. Jean’s superbly priced version is no exception. Front and centre are ripe cassis, raspberry and wood-smoke. With the fruit nicely balanced by mid-palate tannins this wine is dry, rich, ripe and forward. Enjoy it tonight. A full-bodied, well-structure cabernet with classic notes of cassis, blackcurrant and blackberry. Food matches: beef brisket, gourmet burgers, rich meat-based pasta dish.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
This crowd-pleasing wine delivers California sunshine for a song. Rich cassis, blackberry jelly, and mocha notes emerge from the glass. On the palate it’s medium-full bodied with plenty of sweet ripe fruit, with bright acidity and ripe tannins rounding out the experience. Smooth, velvety texture throughout.
