| Description: | Tasting Notes\r\nBalancing lovely textural richness with finely tuned acidity, this radiant Chardonnay displays aromas of apricot, tropical flowers, lemon zest and lychee, with hints of cr\u00e8me fraiche, melted butter and baking spices adding depth and complexity to the fruit-driven aromas. On the palate, a lush, creamy texture frames the ripe citrus flavors, with subtle layers of French oak and baking spices lingering on the long, silky finish. Aromatically the wine has notes of meyer lemon, orange zest, and a hint of tropical flowers. On the palate the wine is creamy with notes of melted butter, and brioche, as well as fruity flavors of lemon, lychee, and apricot with lingering notes of fine tobacco smoke.\r\nWine Spectator 90\r\nAbout Chappellet Winery\r\nIn 1967 Donn Chappellet saw the potential for Napa Valley\u2019s then unknown Pritchard Hill to produce world-class wines on par with the finest first growth Bordeaux. Today, Chappellet\u2019s Pritchard Hill Vineyard is recognized as one of the world\u2019s great sites for Cabernet Sauvignon.\r\n\r\nThe Chappellet\u2019s romance with Pritchard Hill began when Donn Chappellet first glimpsed the mountain\u2019s spectacular vistas in the late 1960s. Inspired by the notion that \u201cBacchus loves the hills\u201d and following the advice of legendary winemaker Andre Tchelistcheff, he settled his family on the rocky eastern slopes of the Napa Valley. There, on Pritchard Hill\u2019s serene hillsides the Chappellet family has cultivated their mountain vineyard to produce some of the Napa Valley\u2019s most acclaimed Bordeaux varietal wines.\r\n\r\nSince being founded in 1967, Chappellet has established Pritchard Hill as one of California\u2019s most revered winegrowing sites, fulfilling Donn\u2019s vision of producing singular wines from his family\u2019s mountain vineyard. Today, true to their parents\u2019 ongoing passion for the grand, natural landscape of Pritchard Hill, a second generation of the Chappellet family has embraced the mountain\u2019s exceptional terroir and is committed to stewarding their father\u2019s vision for generations to come. |
