The 2008 Pinot Noir Sonoma exhibits distinctive earthy and forest floor notes intermixed with hints of sassafras, sweet and sour cherries as well as plums. It possesses much more flavor than its shallow, medium to light ruby color suggests. Drink it over the next 2-3 years. This winery produces some exceptional bargain-priced wines and consistently does an enviable job with Sauvignon Blanc, or as they call it, Fume Blanc. There has been a long legacy of top-notch Fume Blancs produced ever since veteran winemaker Richard Arrowood was fashioning the wines at Chateau St.-Jean in the 1970s. Chateau St. Jean produces four distinctive styles of Chardonnay. My favorites tend to vary with the vintage, and in 2007, the Belle Terre Vineyard came out on top.Tel.
