The Chappellet Pritchard Hill Cabernet Sauvignon is an exquisite expression of the classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine delivers a complex bouquet of aromas, with notes of cassis, dark cherry, and sweet plums, as well as hints of cedar, tobacco, and lush, earthy aromas. The palate is layered and concentrated, with ripe tannins, a balanced acidity and a long, elegant finish. Bold flavors of blackberry and black currant are complemented by a touch of spice, and the overall impression is one of great complexity and depth. A truly memorable Cabernet Sauvignon, this is a wine that will continue to evolve and develop in the bottle over time.
