The wine is truly a love letter to the winegrowing potential of Pritchard Hill. The wine was inspired by Bordeaux, and like most left bank Bordeaux, the wine is a blend of predominately Cabernet Sauvignon with remaining amounts other classic Bordeaux blend varieties. The vines grow upon rocky, mountainside vineyards. After harvest and fermentation, the wine was aged for 22 months in 100% new French oak barrels. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eChappellet planted on Pritchard Hill in 1967, among the first to prove this rugged, high-elevation bench on Napa Valley's eastern ridge could grow world-class Cabernet.

Based on 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot, it's full-bodied, has a deep, concentrated mouthfeel, ultra-fine tannins, and a great, great finish. This is magical stuff that offers pleasure even today given its purity, balance, and finesse, but I'd be shocked if it didn't keep for 50 years or more.

Medium- to full-bodied, it's concentrated and rich, with ripe tannins lingering on the long, dusty finish.

The wine opens with blue fruit and beautifully fine, expressive French oak notes – perfectly toasted and exuding espresso, dark chocolate, and molasses – before blackberry fruit builds with intensity and segues seamlessly into a ripe, pure-fruited palate. This powerful wine overflows with ripe fruit and lavish Indian and Asian spices, and candied violets, while powerful tannin is perfectly integrated – forming a seamless tapestry of dark berry fruit-and-brown-spice through the finish. Tasted over three days, it just gets better and better. One note of warning: The bottle itself is a little heavy, so instead of recycling it, consider adding it to your free weight collection.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"author\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e-Decanter 99 Points\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"timelesswinesdirect.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50525736435866,"sku":"30344889","price":299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/prichardhill_01dfe6d5-0215-4c5a-ab46-d70922dd6b3e.jpg?v=1790229690","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/chappellet-pritchard-hill-estate-vineyard-cabernet-sauvignon-2023","provider":"timelesswinesdirect.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
