Occasional wine note
This has been a Napa Valley stalwart for years and the 2021 reminds of why. We love the ripe dark fruits, bits of spice, hints of herb, and an underlying earthiness that are just so well orchestrated and really deliver from nose to fantastic finish.

COMMENTARY: The 2021 Chappellet Signature Cabernet Sauvignon is superb and impressive. TASTING NOTES: This wine offers aromas and flavors of exotic spices, red and blackberries, oak, and licorice. Serve it with a glorious prime rib.

Decanter
It is a marvellously compact and coiled-up wine with a towering structure. Very beautifully fragrant dried purple flowers and herbs. Full-bodied with loads of succulent ripe blackberry, creme de cassis, graphite, and loamy earth. Very firm, tight-grained tannins form the base note of this wine, and the finish is long and rich in wild herbs and spices. Cellar worthy. It will release internationally in September 2024. It is rounded out with 6% Merlot.
