2002 Chappellet, Mountain Cuvee, Napa Valley
This is a Bordeaux blend, with 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 8% Petit Verdot and 5% Maibec.
Dark garnet. Black cherry and oak on the nose. Black cherry forward fruit that takes on chocolate flavors on the finish, moderate acid, moderate soft tannins, long fruity finish. This is a very nice wine with lots of fruit and interesting complexity. It is accessible now and will soften out more with a few years of aging. This wine is now sold out at the winery, but I think it was priced in the mid 20s. My rating 89.
