2022 Chappellet "Signature" Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, California, USA
ABOUT THIS WINE
The âSignatureâ Cabernet Sauvignon is Chappelletâs flagship bottling and a long-standing standard-bearer of Pritchard Hill excellence. The 2022 vintage continues this legacy with fruit harvested from steep, volcanic-soil vineyards situated at high elevations. These mountain sites produce low yields of intensely concentrated berries, resulting in a wine of remarkable depth and age-worthiness.
Composed primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon, with small additions of Petit Verdot, Malbec, and occasionally Merlot, the wine is fermented in stainless steel and aged in high-quality French oak barrels (typically 60â70% new) for added structure and aromatic complexity.
Aromatically rich with black cherry, crushed herbs, cedar, and baking spice, it builds on the palate with density and vibrancy. The fine-grained tannins offer both grip and finesse, making it an ideal candidate for cellaring over the next 10â15 years.
This wine pairs seamlessly with robust dishesâthink dry-aged steaks, lamb with rosemary, braised short ribs, or hearty mushroom ragĂč. Decanting recommended for early enjoyment.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Chappellet Winery has been a cornerstone of Napa Valleyâs fine wine tradition since 1967. Founded by Donn and Molly Chappellet, the estate was among the first to plant vines on the rugged slopes of Pritchard Hill, which is now regarded as one of Napaâs premier sites for Cabernet Sauvignon.
Today, the second generation continues the familyâs mission of crafting world-class mountain wines with a focus on sustainability, precision farming, and respect for the land. The âSignatureâ Cabernet embodies the Chappellet philosophyâbold, expressive, and shaped by the unique terroir of the estate. It remains one of Napaâs most consistent and age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignons, beloved by collectors and sommeliers alike.
