The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Signature is a gorgeous, mid-weight wine laced with sweet dark plums, black cherries, menthol, tobacco and flowers. This gracious Cabernet Sauvignon-based red possesses lovely balance in an understated style. It should drink well for the next 5-7 years, perhaps longer. In the 2008 the blend is 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Malbec, 9% Merlot and 5% Petite Verdot. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018. I was quite taken with both wines I tasted from Chappellet, the pioneer of first-class winemaking on the gorgeous hillsides of Pritchard Hill. Tel. (707) 963-7136

A wonderful Cabernet, dry and classically structured, notable for elegance and smooth power. A sort of junior version of the Pritchard Hill Estate bottling, it’s rich and complex in blackberry and cherry, chocolate and cedar flavors, wrapped into smooth tannins. now–2014.——S.H.(7/1/2011)—— 92
