Deep garnet-purple colored, bounding out of the glass with exuberant black cherries, warm cassis, chocolate pie and blackberry preserves notes plus nuances of wild sage, forest floor and tobacco. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is elegantly played and refreshing with velvety tannins and a long mineral-tinged finish.
Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate.
This cuvée just about always represents the pinnacle of mountain Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. A deep purple color as well a stunning bouquet of blue fruits, burning embers, dark chocolate, sage brush, and crushed rocks.

Crème de cassis, licorice, lavender, chocolate, spice and espresso. This is an especially inky, flamboyant style for Chappellet, but all the elements come together very nicely.
Antonio Galloni, Vinous.
It displays the power of elevation, revealing dense layers of sage and black currant highlighted by cedar and graphite. Cellaring is recommended. Cellar Selection.
Virginia Boone, Wine Enthusiast.
Blueberry, blackberry and blue-slate aromas. Medium body and firm, silky tannins.
