Note di degustazione
79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Malbec, 5% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot. Toasty, baking spice and dried-caramel aromatics. Juicy plum and cassis palate with baking spice and an herbal-amaro accent. Persistent oak tannins though the flavour wanes on the finish. Light on acidity. (ECB)

Blueberry, licorice and spearmint aromas follow through to a full body with ultra-fine tannins and a fresh and clean finish. Length and balance.
The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Signature from Chappellet, a blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Malbec and the rest Merlot and Petit Verdot, is a stunner. Moreover, it’s a pretty realistic value for a top-notch Cabernet from California. Of course, it’s a great vintage and they’ve nailed it. Deep ruby/purple color, notes of blueberry, blackberry, with cassis, camphor and spring flowers, the wine is full-bodied, powerful (14.8% natural alcohol), layered with supple tannins and a long, long finish. This wine can be drunk now, or cellared for 25 or more years.
