"Another great 2005, this time from Chappellet, their 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Pritchard Hill is a gorgeous blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Petit Verdot (that’s a lot) and 6% Malbec. It tips the scales at 14.5% alcohol, which is lofty in a cool year such as 2005. Chappellet was way ahead of its time developing vineyards on Pritchard Hill, which is now one of the most expensive and desirable addresses for Napa Valley viticulture. It is easy to see why. This wine has a dense black/purple color, a beautiful nose of spring flowers, crème de cassis and blackberry, full-bodied texture, and stunning purity, richness and length. This is classic and still very youthful and exuberant at age ten."
