Tasting Notes and Characteristics:The first sip of Chappellet Mountain Cuvee wraps you in a plush embrace of ripe black cherry, cocoa-dusted plum, and a whisper of cedar, instantly evoking the rugged beauty of Napa’s hillsides. Crafted in the United States with an ABV of 14.50%, this Bordeaux-style blend brings together Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc for a layered palate that balances dark fruit richness with savory undertones and polished tannins. Its bold structure and vibrant acidity make it an irresistible match for a perfectly seared steak or the nutty depth of aged cheddar, elevating every bite with its harmonious finish.Producer Information: Chappellet WineryChappellet Winery, established in 1967 by Donn and Molly Chappellet, is a pioneering family-owned estate located on the rocky slopes of Pritchard Hill in Napa Valley.
