2023 Chappellet Mountain Cuvee
The Wine
Blended from the traditional Bordeaux varietals, including our own coveted grapes,
the Chappellet Mountain Cuvée Proprietor’s Blend builds on our more than five
decades of experience crafting great mountain-grown wines. Each grape variety in
the cuvée contributes nuances that complement each other. The result is a complex
array of aromas and flavors that deliver pure pleasure in a glass. Made for more
near-term enjoyment, this is the wine to choose when you’re looking for vivid,
mouthfilling fruit flavors.
Growing Season & Harvest
With early season rains saturating soils and a cool spring and summer that ensured
generous hangtime, 2023 offered perfect weather that took the grapes to another
level. To provide airflow and light on the grapes during a cool vintage, we pruned
and leafed early and often. Though later than normal, both budbreak and bloom
were excellent with overall yields up slightly. The weather stayed cool into fall,
with only one September day above 90° F, before things warmed up in October,
providing a final push to ripeness. Though harvest was compact, we were able to
pick everything at the ideal moment, yielding impeccably balanced red wines with
concentrated color, seamless tannins and an abundance of fruit and spice.
Tasting Notes
This beautifully aromatic wine leaps from the glass with effusive aromas of
dark cherry, blackberry and plum, as well as French oak-inspired hints of clove,
cardamom and cedar and notions of black pepper and fresh herbs. On the
richly textured palate, lush ripe berry layers echo the aromas, with fine-grained
tannins framing the luxurious flavors as they glide to a lingering dark chocolate
and anise finish

2022 Chateau Montelena - Chardonnay Napa (750ml)
Precision in winemaking (and in life) requires intent and purpose. Removing notions of how things should be allows us to see things truly as they are. Moreover, the ability to be entirely honest with each vintage enables the creative freedom necessary for both development and true expression. Montelena Chardonnay does not have a style. What it has is the dual-purpose of vintage and vineyard expression and our meticulous intent to deliver on both.
