| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\nStriking an impeccable balance between concentration and elegance, this rich and complex Cabernet Franc showcases how beautifully this grape expresses itself when grown on high-mountain slopes. The nose offers gorgeous aromas of red currant, black cherry, smokey tea, thyme and graphite, with hints of vanilla and clove from aging in French oak. On the plush, mouthcoating palate, silky tannins and a saturated texture frame the generous ripe berry flavors, with notes of earthy richness, sage and roasted coffee lingering throughout a long voluptuous finish.\r\nBlend: 75% Cabernet Franc, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Malbec, 4% Petit Verdot \r\n\r\nJeb Dunnuck 96 Points \r\n\r\nRobert Parker 95 Points \r\n\r\nJames Suckling 94 Points\r\n\r\n\r\nWinemaking\r\n\r\nChappellet wines are crafted to embody the terroir and intensity of fruit that has made Pritchard Hill famous.
