Chappellet Signature Cabernet Sauvignon

Chappellet's estate vineyards are located on Pritchard Hill in the eastern hills of Napa Valley's Oakville AVA, one of the most acclaimed Cabernet Sauvignon growing sites in California. The high-elevation volcanic soils and rocky terrain produce small-berried fruit with intense concentration and firm tannic structure.

Chappellet Signature Cabernet exhibits notes of blackberry, cassis, cedar, and tobacco, with firm mountain tannins and substantial aging potential. The flavor profile reflects Pritchard Hill's high-elevation terroir, which produces wines with darker fruit character and more structure than typical valley-floor Napa Cabernets.

Chappellet was founded in 1967 by Donn and Molly Chappellet, making them one of the pioneering wineries established on the rugged hillsides of eastern Napa Valley. They were among the first to recognize the potential of Pritchard Hill for producing world-class, age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon.

Chappellet Signature Cabernet Sauvignon benefits from 5 to 10 years of bottle aging to allow the firm mountain tannins to soften and integrate, though it can be enjoyed sooner with proper decanting. The wine's structure, acidity, and concentration give it the potential to age gracefully for well over a decade under proper cellar conditions.
