Chappellet Signature Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, USA 2022

Signature Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 is a quintessential Napa Valley Cabernet that delivers both richness and refinement from one of the region’s most iconic mountain estates. Sourced primarily from the Pritchard Hill estate and select Napa Valley vineyards, this wine opens with deep, expressive aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, cassis, and ripe plum, layered with notes of cedar, violet, cocoa, and warm baking spice. The palate is full bodied and beautifully structured, showing Chappellet’s signature balance of power and precision, lush dark fruit framed by firm yet polished tannins and a vibrant acidity that keeps everything lifted. Subtle oak integration adds depth without overshadowing the purity of fruit, leading to a long, persistent finish marked by graphite and mineral tones. Approachable in its youth with decanting, but clearly built for cellaring, this is a classic expression of mountain influenced Napa Cabernet at its most elegant and age worthy.

"A killer wine and great value, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Signature reveals tons of cassis and darker, almost blue fruits intermixed with sappy spring flowers, crushed stone, and lead pencil nuances. Based on 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petit Verdot, 7% Malbec, and 2% Merlot, it's balanced and medium to full-bodied, with beautiful tannins. This is a no-brainer purchase that will drink beautifully for 10-12 years." Jeb Dunnuck 93
