Chappellet 2021 Pritchard Hill Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
99 pts 99 Points Decanter: "Such an attractive and alluring bouquet of violet florals, blue fruit aromatics, sagebrush, bay laurel, and toasty cedarwood. Medium to full-bodied with a wonderfully rich fruit-forward palate of succulent blackberry, plums, and black cherry, nuanced by an inviting minerality with an ironstone quality laced by dried sage.

Best from 2025; ideally, you'd hold off until near 2030 and enjoy until 2050."99 Points The Wine Independant: "The Chappellet 2021 Pritchard Hill Cabernet Sauvignon, with 5% Petit Verdot in the blend, is deep garnet-purple in color.

The full-bodied palate shimmers with vivacious black fruit flavor
