This was an awesome example of Cab Franc from Chappellet. Pritchard Hill is such an amazingly complex vineyard. Highly recommend.

My word - delicious. The nose is outstanding and the palate is as rich and nuanced as can be. Loads of menthol, black raspberry and crushed blackberries. Delightful!

Great varietal character. Needs a free more years in the cellar. Try it in 2020 if you have one.

Wonderful. Still working on becoming something special. I’m glad I have another to revisit in a couple of years
