Chappellet Pritchard Hill Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

California

Napa Valley

The 2022 Pritchard Hill Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Petit Verdot, delivering a deep garnet-purple in color. Juicy blueberries, black currant cordial, and plum preserves notes spill from the glass, opening out to suggestions of dried mint, dark chocolate, tapenade, and lilacs. Full-bodied, the palate is laden with ripe, expressive black fruit flavors, supported by firm, grainy tannins and wonderful tension, finishing long and fragrant.

Concentrated black cherry and cassis fruits on the opening, overlaid with violet and peony floral character, moves upwards through the palate as a juicy freshness heads in underneath the fruit, great quality, closing out with bitter cocoa bean, fennel and espresso character. Great quality, a long term wine that will reward patience. Heavy bottle.

Inside Bordeaux

The 2019 Pritchard Hill Cabernet Sauvignon, with 5% Petit Verdot in the blend, is deep garnet-purple in color. Scents of blackcurrant pastilles, candied violets, chocolate-covered cherries, and clove oil come barreling out of the glass, leading to hints of fragrant soil and cedar chest. The big, rich, full-bodied palate delivers impactful, mouth-coating black fruit with a velvety texture and seamless freshness, finishing on a lingering fragrant earth note.
