Chappellet Mountain Cuvee Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
Cabernet Sauvignon
from Napa Valley, California
winemaker's notes:
57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot
This is the wine to choose when you're looking for vivid,
mouth-filling fruit flavors. Mountain Cuvee is a
winemaker's blend that beautifully expresses the
distinctive qualities of the traditional Bordeaux varietals,
crafted for early consumption. Each component making up
the cuvee contributes nuances that mingle with and
complement each other. The result is a complex array of
aromas and flavors that deliver pure pleasure in a glass.
Vibrant aromas of blackberry, black cherry, dried fruit, and
baking spices jump from the glass. In the mouth the wine
is rich in dark fruit flavors, with hints of mocha and
roasted coffee beans. Full, fairly big tannins are well
integrated in the body and fruit character.
