The Story

The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon has been Chappellet's flagship wine for more than three decades. It is a benchmark for the long-lived hillside wines of the Napa Valley; full of structure and aging potential, yet seductively forward in its varietal character. The dry, rocky soils of Pritchard Hill produce small, intensely flavorful grapes. Crop thinning allows for full, even ripening and further elevates flavor complexity.

Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle. Colour is purple and deep. On the nose it is intense, youthful, refined, rich and complex. The taste is full, rich, with drying tannins, and average in acidity, full-bodied, with balanced, well-structured, good texture structure and youthful. On the palate it is layered and has blackberry, blackcurrant, smoky, spice, toasty, licorice and violet flavours. The finish is long, gentle, round, flavorful and spicy. This wine is well-rounded and fine. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least 2h before tasting.
