Wine Review: This dark ruby colored Cabernet Sauvignon from Chappellet opens with a faint blueberry and black cherry bouquet with hints of dried fig, dried herbs, and eucalyptus. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with integrated medium acidity. The mouthfeel is nicely balanced, smooth, and seamless. The flavor profile is cassis and graphite blend with notes of gentle black plum and oak. We also detected hints of black cherry and chocolate. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and polished moderate tannins are nicely sustained. We would pair this crowd-pleasing and versatile Cab with beef wellington. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Beautifully dark, complex, and concentrated, this wine offers luxurious aromas of black currant, dark cherry and plum, layered with hints of cedar, mountain sage, aged tobacco, thyme and toasted oak. The structure is seamless and silky, with a glowing richness that permeates the palate, adding depth and generosity to flavors of black cherry, currant, chocolate, and espresso bean, with notions of fresh herbs and barrel spice providing a lovely counterpoint throughout the long, resonating finish.
