The 2022 Chappellet Mountain Cuvée Proprietor's Blend speaks well of the Napa Valley. At its price point, it over-delivers! This wine exhibits aromas and flavors of pleasant oaky notes, dried blackberries, and fragrant spices. Enjoy it with well-seasoned, slow-cooked braised lamb.

Winemaker Notes

This beautifully aromatic wine leaps out of the glass with concentrated notes of red currant, boysenberry, cassis, roasted coffee and dark chocolate, along with savory undertones and notions of sweet oak. On the palate it is rich and mouth-coating, with a seamless texture and supple tannins framing luxurious layers of dark berry fruit, barrel spice and fresh herbs.

Blend: 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot, 6% Malbec, 2% Cabernet Franc
