There is both good intensity and detail to the lightly mineral-inflected middle weight flavors that culminate in a mildly austere and rustic but solidly complex and persistent finish

Chappellet, Signature Cabernet Sauvignon Size:6x750ml A restrained and markedly cool77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Petit Verdot, 8% Malbec, 3% Merlot. Harvest 25 September to 30 October. pH 3. 78. Warm and spicy on the nose, the alcohol is a little evident. There is real grip to the palate, chalky tannins bringing definition and structure. Cassis and chocolate come together, this is true Cabernet. The alcohol however lingers on the finish much as on the nose. (TP)
