This bottle of the 1984 “Signature” was opened and Audouzed about an hour prior to service. It was then enjoyed over the course of three hours. The wine pours a deep garnet color with an opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing and was initially tightly wound but eventually opened up to reveal sensational notes of black currants, blackberries, tobacco, mixed herbs, inorganic earth and fine baking spices. In the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin (still!) and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. A sensational, classic, evergreen Napa Cabernet Sauvignon made by the legend herself, the one and only Cathy Corison. Drink now with some air or short decant. However, well stored examples will drink well through 2044. — 5 days ago

Leather, blackberry, sage, and fig with a touch of white pepper. Bold and earthy with pretty strong tannins, saving my second bottle to see what some age will do to it. — 2 months ago

This has stood still. Exemplary in terms of presentation. Precise and laser focused macerated cherries with hints of espresso beans. Deftly balanced on the mid palate. Grainy tannins with hints of maple syrup bringing up the rear. Outstanding. — 3 months ago

Black cherry, mushroom, and vanilla with a touch of oak. Rich but not overpowering. It’s smooth enough to drink alone but has enough acidity to stand up to food. — 2 months ago

Founded by Donn & Molly Chappellet in 1967 on renowned Pritchard Hill. A blend of 82% Cab Sauv, 9% Petit Verdot, 7% Malbec & 2% Merlot. Deep Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruits, cedar, cacao and sweet herbs. On the palate flavors of blackberry and currants with sweet oak and herbs with a great mouthfeel. Fine tannins, a bit tight, long ending with fruit, cacao and oak. Will improve! Decant! — 3 months ago
