Chappellet Pritchard Hill Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 750 ml

99 Points Wine Advocate  “A blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Pritchard Hill is another wonderfully evocative triumph from this family-owned Pitchard Hill pioneer. Deep garnet-purple colored, it storms out of the glass with profound scents of crème de cassis, blackberry preserves, licorice and mulberries, plus hints of unsmoked cigars, wild sage and tar. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers fantastic intensity and great poise, offering fine-grained, ripe tannins and bold freshness, finishing long and mineral laced.”

98+ Points Jeb Dunnuck  “The flagship from this great estate is the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Pritchard Hill, which checks in as a blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot. It has an incredible nose of pure blue fruits as well as flowers, crushed stone, fresh thyme, tobacco, and graphite. Deep, rich, full-bodied, and concentrated, it's nevertheless weightless and light on its feet, with wonderfully integrated acidity, polished tannins, and a great finish. This classic, quintessential Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon will benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and cruise for 20, 30, if not 40 years if stored correctly."

98 Points International Wine Report  “The 2019 Prichard Hill Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is an absolute knockout in this vintage. This instantly impresses with its intense aromatics of ripe black currants and black cherries, which are laced with exotic spices, graphite, dark chocolate, violets and savory herbs that all come together beautifully. On this palate this possesses a generous full body that is well-structured with big polished tannins, while displaying wonderful overall balance and concentration. It continues to impress as it delivers layers of gorgeous ripe dark fruits that build up to the long opulent finish which lingers on. The Prichard Hill Estate Cabernet shows a remarkable combination of power and sophistication and while it is already sensational, it should go on to age remarkably well for decades to come.”

98 Points Ken’s Wine Guide/Tasting Panel  "This midnight purple colored Cabernet Sauvignon opens with a black currant and oak bouquet with hints of blueberry, vanilla, and clove. On the palate, this wine is medium plus with integrated delicate acidity. The mouthfeel is exceptionally well-balanced, smooth, and silky. The flavor profile is a delicious blend of black currant and graphite with notes of gentle blackberry and rich dark chocolate. We also detected hints of black licorice, menthol, mild black tea, and subtle oak. The finish is dry and its dusty and refined tannins linger and last for a very very long time. The Tasting Panel would drink this outstanding Cab on its own."
