Chappellet Vineyard, Pritchard Hill, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 2011

Highlights:

Our patience was rewarded in 2011, as our Cabernet Sauvignon achieved full ripeness in the last weeks of October, yielding a wine that seamlessly combines a classic mountain structure with elegance and finesse. On the nose, vivid aromas of blueberry and cassis are underscored by notes of dark chocolate, anise and cedar, as well as hints of roasted coffee and baking spice from aging in new French oak.

The palate is rich and impeccably balanced, with supple tannins and a velvety mouthfeel, all supporting radiant layers of cherry, blackberry and spice that continue to unfold throughout a long, lingering finish.
