Chappellet
Pritchard Hill Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Amazing wine with the beef tenderloin- this was vibrant and radiant wine - this mountain terroir shows up In the structure and concentration but incredible palette with bold notes and not extracted yet purity and poise you expect from Pritchard Hill - aromas reveal blackberry, dark cherry and dark chocolate - noise gives off oak spice, violets and tobacco - rich satisfying and expansive taste notes now after a hour of decant with layers of dark berry, espresso and cedar - completely underscored by silky tannins that carry through to a lingering, almost liqueur-like finish but not at all extracted - totally in the zone - will last 10 years easily but why wait

Awesome wine with the owner Cyril Chappellet.
Beautiful 2012 Prichard Hill Cab.Brambly red fruits, cedar, little smoke, and sultry tannins leading to a nice long finish. Smooth and jammy in texture. Nicely structured and layered. With secondary notes of chocolates espresso and slight tobacco. Oops a little too much fun that evening! He was there in spirit. Just edited rating with Cyril’s name.
