Description
Chappellet was founded in 1967 by Donn and Molly Chappellet on Pritchard Hill, high in Napa Valley's eastern Vaca Mountains. It is among the region's pioneering mountain Cabernet estates.
Composed of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon with 5% Merlot, the 1994 Cabernet Sauvignon Signature is pale to medium brick in color with a glorious nose of kirsch and black cherry pie with underlying notions of violets, dark chocolate, black soil and menthol plus a waft of sweaty leather. Medium to full-bodied, it has a solid backbone of grainy tannins with great freshness, finishing long and fruity.
