Napa Valley/Chappellet/Cabernets

Today we will need extra time for our extended lunch.We are traveling into the great Napa Valley and I will introduce you to Phillip Titus.Phillip has been the wine maker for Chappellet for decades,and has three amazing Cabs on the table.First let's at a look at the tasting notes and a little history from this spectacular winery. The Chappellet family’s romance with Pritchard Hill started more than four decades ago when Donn and Molly Chappellet first glimpsed its magnificent vista of forests and wildflower-filled meadows. Inspired by the notion that Bacchus loves the hills, the Chappellets followed the advice of renowned winemaker AndrĂ© Tchelistcheff and settled on Pritchard Hill’s rocky slopes, becoming the first winery to plant vineyards exclusively on high-elevation hillsides. From these Pritchard Hill vineyards, the Chappellets have been crafting extraordinary, age-worthy wines since 1967. Pritchard Hill’s rugged terroir has become legendary for producing wines with great intensity and depth—qualities that define the world's finest Cabernet Sauvignons. As a result, Chappellet wines have consistently received the highest praise from critics, and are sought after by the world's premier collectors. Today, a second generation of the family has joined their parents in embracing the romance of Pritchard Hill. They are passionate about preserving the land and continuing what Donn and Molly began—making extraordinary wines.Today we are tasting three Cabernets and each is a special wine and perfect with food.I think we should just join Phillip Titus and learn of these wines,as the tasting notes are very large.Cheers!
