Chappellet Mountain Cuvee Proprietor's Blend 2024

Chappellet Mountain Cuvee Proprietor's Blend 2024 is an expressive, fruit-forward, and beautifully textured California red blend that showcases the heritage of Napa Valley hillside winemaking. Sourced from premier volcanic mountain vineyards, it pours a vibrant ruby-garnet color. The nose is highly aromatic, leaping from the glass with layers of dark cherry, fresh cassis, and black plum, complemented by French oak nuances of vanilla, clove, and shaved cedarwood. On the palate, it is medium-to-full-bodied and incredibly smooth, displaying a rounded, supple mouthfeel driven by fine-grained tannins. Lush mountain berry flavors blend seamlessly with integrated hints of baking spice, dark chocolate, and anise, supported by a refreshing natural acidity that results in a long, balanced, and approachable finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with grilled rosemary lamb chops, classic backyard cheeseburgers, wood-fired mushroom pizza, or slow-braised beef short ribs.
