Chappellet Signature Napa Valley Cabernet

| Description: | Napa Valley\r\nWinemaker Notes\r\nThe Signature Cabernet Sauvignon has been a foundational wine for more than five 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 concentrated varietal character. The dry, rocky soils of Pritchard Hill produce small, intensely flavorful grapes. Crop thinning allows for full, even ripening and elevates flavor complexity.\u00a0 Aromas of cassis and dark berries with sweet spices, dried orange peel and minty undertones. Hints of walnuts, too. Medium- to full-bodied with well-integrated, melting tannins. Very silky texture. Succulent and layered, ripe but bright and vivid. Delicious fruit. Long.\r\nJeb Dunnuck 94 Points \r\nJames Suckling 94 Points\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. |
