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!

2010 vintage poured in 2026. Still tasting some slight primary flavor. Leather aroma. Tannins have softened. Deep red color. Still holding its own.
