Chappellet Signature Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Chappellet Signature Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 is a hallmark Napa Valley red wine crafted by the legendary Chappellet Winery, situated on the high-elevation slopes of Pritchard Hill. Sourced predominantly from rugged, well-drained volcanic soils, this mountain-grown Cabernet Sauvignon is blended with small percentages of complementary Bordeaux varietals to enhance its depth and complexity. Aged in French oak barrels, the 2022 vintage presents a deep ruby-purple hue accompanied by expressive aromas of dark blackberry, cassis, black cherry, graphite, sweet tobacco, and toasted cocoa spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied, rich, and impeccably structured, framing intense dark stone fruit with firm, fine-grained mountain tannins and vibrant acidity that leads into a long, memorable finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with prime grilled ribeye, roasted rack of lamb, braised beef short ribs, venison tenderloin, wild mushroom ragù, and aged cheddar.

Concentration and complexity join forces with aromas of mountain herbs, cedar carrying into flavors of cassis and dark chocolate, graphite and integrated oak spices. Juicy with intensity and an a mouthwatering finish.

Well-priced for the quality, Chappellet's 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Signature serves up bold aromas of mocha, cassis and black cherries. In the mouth, it's full-bodied and packed with flavor, nicely concentrated and framed by supple tannins. It's not overripe—a real risk this vintage—but does have a pronounced mocha note on the lingering finish.
