The most sought-after wine in our portfolio, this limited-production Cabernet Sauvignon represents the pinnacle of Chappellet winemaking and embodies the elegant power and complexity of Pritchard Hill winegrowing. Like the great Bordeaux wines that first inspired Donn Chappellet, this wine is crafted by blending Cabernet Sauvignon with other classic Bordeaux varietals. The wine was aged for 22 months in 100 percent new French oak. Grown on our rocky, mountainside vineyard, our Cabernets have consistently displayed an ability to age for several decades.
Embodying the essence of great mountain-grown Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine is gloriously opulent and elegant, immediately demanding attention with concentrated aromas of black currant, cassis, ripe blackberry, sweet oak smoke, cedar, tobacco leaf, graphite and violets. On the palate, it majestically captures the essence of Pritchard Hill’s terroir, with rich, robust tannins, voluptuous dark berry flavors and sophisticated nuances of sandalwood, savory dried herbs, anise, vanilla bean, nutmeg, dark chocolate and spice that flow to a long, impeccably polished finish.
Wine Blend: 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot
