Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\n\r\nBlended from the traditional Bordeaux varietals, including our own coveted grapes, the Chappellet Mountain Cuvee Proprietor's Blend builds on our five decades of experience crafting great Napa County mountain-grown wines. Each component varietal in the cuv\u00e9e contributes to nuances that complement each other. The result is a complex array of aromas and flavors that deliver pure pleasure in a glass. Made for more near-term enjoyment, this is the wine to choose when you're looking for vivid, mouthfilling fruit flavors.\r\nThis beautifully aromatic wine leaps out of the glass with concentrated notes of red currant, boysenberry, cassis, roasted coffee and dark chocolate, along with savory undertones and notions of sweet oak. On the palate it is rich and mouthcoating, with a seamless texture and supple tannins framing luxurious layers of dark berry fruit, barrel spice and fresh herbs.\r\nBlend: 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Petit Verdot, 14% Merlot, 12% Malbec, 5% Cabernet Franc\r\nWinemaking\r\n\r\nChappellet wines are crafted to embody the terroir and intensity of fruit that has made Pritchard Hill famous. Each is a personal reflection of the Chappellet family\u2019s commitment to expressing the unique qualities of vineyard and varietal in their wines. Focused on producing limited quantities of its benchmark Cabernet Sauvignon wines for more than 40 years, the Chappellet portfolio today includes its acclaimed Pritchard Hill Cabernet Sauvignon\u00ae, Signature Chenin Blanc, Bordeaux varietals, and proprietary blends.\r\n\r\nWinemaker Phillip Corallo-Titus, who has been guiding Chappellet\u2019s winemaking program since 1990, ferments and ages individual lots from Chappellet\u2019s diverse vineyard blocks to maintain the distinctive character of each utilizing an array of maceration and fermentation practices and aging in the finest barrels from elite coopers and forests to add depth and complexity. |
