2008 Chateau St Jean Fume Blanc, California $13
Chateau St. Jean does it again, making a terrific wine for an exceptional price. This wine has a terrific nose of cumquat oranges and melon with a very light hint of dried herbs. The flavors change across the taste buds first starting with lemon zest and Bradford pear notes, than developing into melon notes and finishing with a terrific fresh fig flavor. The oak comes through in a subtle smokiness and fig flavors. This wine would work well with menus of chicken or pork in a creamy mushroom sauce or butter sautéed seafood. Terrific for the price.
