Chappellet Mountain Cuvée 2021 (1500ml) Fortified WineWinemaker Notes This beautifully aromatic wine leaps out of the glass with concentrated notes of red currant, boysenberry, cassis, roasted coffee and dark chocolate, along with savory undertones and notions of sweet oak. On the palate it is rich and mouthcoating, with a seamless texture and supple tannins framing luxurious layers of dark berry fruit, barrel spice and fresh herbs. Blend: 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Petit Verdot, 14% Merlot, 12% Malbec,
dried black figs and hints of oak
Sites: North facing slopes at 1000 feet and 1900 feet elevation in the Mayacamas mountain range in west Napa Valley
