description: There can't be too many 2001 Merlots waiting to be released, and St. Jean must have waited to let the tannins soften. They have. Still a bit hard, the wine drinks beautifully now, with lush cherry, cocoa, spice and lavender flavors. The oak is 100% new French, and it works. Drink with the best steak you can find.
variety: Merlot
designation: Reserve
