Score 89/100 · Drink 2015-2020, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jan 2015
St. Jean's 2012 Merlot (Dry Creek Valley) is immediate, juicy and intense, with plenty of forward fruit and near-term appeal. Dark red stone fruits, cloves, new leather and raspberry jam flesh out in a racy, sensual Merlot endowed with considerable nuance. Even with its voluptuous personality, the 2012 retains quite a bit of freshness. There is a lot to like here.
