Chateau St. Jean California Merlot 2017

Crafted in an approachable California style from coastal vineyards, this beautifully balanced wine offers up ripe fruit aromas of fresh berry, red plum and cherry leading to a palate filled with flavors of fresh berry pie, milk chocolate and notes of black tea. Smooth tannins and a juicy mouthfeel.
