Sipping Fine Wine

9.0

For more than 4 decades, the Chappellet family has been crafting wines from fruit cultivated on the steep, rocky slopes of Napa Valley's Pritchard Hill. Aged for 8 months on French oak, (33% new) in its lees. Aromas of ripe stone fruits, citrus, honey and oaky scents. On the palate layers of fruit, apple, lemon and peach with balanced acidity and gentle toasty oak. Lingering smooth finish ending with fruit and oak tones, a bit creamy. Very well done. A joy to drink. — 9 days ago

Well balanced blend from Chappellet. Nothing over the top or spectacular about this blend but it is very enjoyable and drinkable. Fruit forward with some spice on the back end that integrates well with the balanced oak. Subtle tannins and light acidity. Drink now or hold for a few years but nothing long term. — 14 days ago
