Chappellet Mountain Cuvee Proprietor's Blend 2023
$39.99
Critical Acclaim: 93 pts Wilfred Wong.
Winemaker Tasting Notes: This beautifully aromatic wine leaps out of the glass with concentrated notes of red currant, boysenberry, cassis, roasted coffee and dark chocolate, along with savory undertones and notions of sweet oak. On the palate it is rich and mouthcoating, with a seamless texture and supple tannins framing luxurious layers of dark berry fruit, barrel spice and fresh herbs.
"The 2023 Chappellet Mountain Cuvée Proprietor's Blend is a striking expression of Bordeaux varietals. Deep garnet in color, it opens with aromatic spices and ripe red and black fruits, complemented by elegant oak accents. Medium-bodied with impressive structure, the palate reveals a core of black fruit and toasty oak, finishing long and firmly balanced. This wine pairs beautifully with Wagyu beef drizzled in a soy-mirin reduction, where its spice, richness, and firm backbone complement the dish's umami intensity and savory depth."- Wilfred Wong.
