CRITIC REVIEWS
Jonathan Cristaldi
Chappellets longtime winemaker Phil Titus turns out yet another power-packed Cabernet, which leads with aromas of candied violets, blueberry preserves and brandy-soaked blackberries, followed by earth, cedar and chaparral. Intense layered flavours of silken black fruit, rich brown spices, turned earth, pastis and heady cedar are supported by long beams of powerful mountain tannins, all framed by a mineral-driven finish accented with mocha.

Blackberries, blueberries, black licorice, ink and flowers on the nose. Tar, too. Full-bodied with plush, integrated tannins that are intertwined to pure velvet. The finish goes on and on. Wonderful balance and harmony. 2022 release. So excellent to drink now, but will be even better in 2023 and onwards.
