A while back, Chappellet came to Fort Worth and did a wine dinner, so my in laws and I attended. Overall, very nice wines and we heard the view was great atop Pritchard Hill, so they wanted to stop by during our trip.
Chappellet does a very solid job across many wines, but this Malbec was a standout. It’s usually so inky and one dimensional, but this was a welcomed surprise. Lots of black cherry, red licorice tart and spice. Similar to the well crafted Hope & Grace Malbec that @David T introduced to me.

2013 Malbec from Chappellet family. Always impressed with this mountain grown Malbec from Phillip Titus. Features Carissa's Dragon series art work on the label. Aromas of Dark fruit & Cherries with flavor of Dark Roast coffee, chocolate and rich tannins on the palate and finish. Yum!!

Dark (blue) berries, spice. Maybe the best Malbec I've had. nice balance to tannins and acidity.

Dark blackberry fruit sister clairissa drew this picture for the label she wanted to show the mythical dragons that exist on Prichard hill a blending varietal has a bit of CS and cf lots of flavor and structure our expression of what is on the hill well suited to a grilled steak. Dark berry fruit currants black berry fruit very rich and ripe with a good sense of terroir. A bit light and lean with a fresh smooth tannins. Excellent
