Chappellet Pritchard Hill Estate Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2000

The intensity of the wine is evident from the deep, inky red, saturated color. The aromas are powerful with concentrated black cherry, blackberry and dark chocolate. Hints of toasty oak, cedar and herbs add complexity to the ripe, fruity nose. The dark fruit continues on the palate. Rich blueberry and blackberry flavors mingle with sweet oak, and elegant tannins give structure and depth to the wine. The spicy tones of cinnamon, clove and caramel linger long on the finish. The seemless mouthfeel and layered complexity speak to the effort put into creating this powerful wine.
