Chappellet Cabernet Sauvignon Signature (Napa) 19

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Signature from Chappellet showcases the density and structure of the vintage, with medium to full body, good mid-palate depth, plenty of mountain tannins, and classic Pritchard Hill blue fruits, dark chocolate, and ample minerality. This serious wine in the making benefits from short-term cellaring, as it is crafted from twenty-seven distinctive estate vineyard blocks on the warmer slopes of Pritchard Hill. Chappellet's Pritchard Hill Vineyard is renowned for producing world-class wines on par with the finest first growth Bordeaux, and their Signature wines are hand-crafted artisanal expressions of varietal character and vineyard site. Dense plum, chocolate, and earth notes make this Cabernet Sauvignon a perfect companion for rich cuisine, such as braise ox tail with creamy polenta or rosemary crusted lamb chops, as well as firm cows milk cheeses like Beaufort.
