Chappellet “Mountain Cuve” Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend 2021 750ml

Details

Molly and Donn Chappellet’s quest to make a First-Growth quality wine in the Napa Valley led them to Pritchard Hill in 1967, and the family is still at it. The producer says “This beautifully aromatic wine leaps out of the glass with concentrated notes of red currant, boysenberry, cassis, roasted coffee and dark chocolate, along with savory undertones and notions of sweet oak. On the palate it is rich and mouthcoating, with a seamless texture and supple tannins framing luxurious layers of dark berry fruit, barrel spice and fresh herbs. The 2021 cuve is 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Petit Verdot, 14% Merlot, 12% Malbec and 5% Cabernet Franc.
