Chappellet Pritchard Hill Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, USA 2021

The most sought-after wine in our portfolio, this limited-production Cabernet Sauvignon represents the pinnacle of Chappellet winemaking and embodies the elegant power and complexity of Pritchard Hill winegrowing. Like the great Bordeaux wines that first inspired Donn Chappellet, this wine is crafted by blending Cabernet Sauvignon with other classic Bordeaux varietals. The wine was aged for 22 months in 100 percent new French oak. Grown on our rocky, mountainside vineyard, our Cabernets have consistently displayed an ability to age for several decades.

Embodying the essence of great mountain-grown Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine is gloriously opulent and elegant, immediately demanding attention with concentrated aromas of black currant, cassis, ripe blackberry, sweet oak smoke, cedar, tobacco leaf, graphite and violets. On the palate, it majestically captures the essence of Pritchard Hill’s terroir, with rich, robust tannins, voluptuous dark berry flavors and sophisticated nuances of sandalwood, savory dried herbs, anise, vanilla bean, nutmeg, dark chocolate and spice that flow to a long, impeccably polished finish.

95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot

"The flagship 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Pritchard Hill is based on 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot. Dense purple-hued, with incredible aromatics of black and blue fruits, camphor, liquid violets, tobacco, and graphite, it has a remarkable sense of opulence in its aromas and flavors and delivers full-bodied richness, a massive mid-palate, building tannins, and a thrilling finish. It reminds me of an improved 2013. This heavenly Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon will evolve for 30-40 years in cold cellars and is another absolutely sensational wine from this estate. Don't miss it." Jeb Dunnuck 98+
