Chateau St. Jean Cab Sauv Cing Cepages 1996

I believe that my store deserves a bone. I am told by the past buyer/steward that they brought in a lot of CSJ product last year. Trouble is I've only been here six weeks now, so I do not know the district manager for this rep that's giving me the whole little story. I plan on calling and chatting with the DM on Monday, and maybe get to the bottom of this. Still, I would like to know from those who've tried this wine, what a good comparable label might be. Although I am sure that many people will want only CSJ, as it is the #1, (so they can say that they too have tried it). I am thinking that a positive way to handle this situation would be to at least use it as a way of introducing other Meritage blends to customers that might not considered much about trying them otherwise. What are your thoughts on the St. Supery 95? I thought it was a really big red, and I have easy access to it. Thanks as always, K
