Composed of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 1968 Chappellet Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is pale to medium brick in color with a gorgeous nose of dried cherries and dried cranberries with touches of potpourri, charcuterie and Chinese five spice plus a waft of sandalwood. The palate is medium-bodied and simply singing of exotic spices and dried flowers, with layers of berry preserves and savory/meaty notions supported by plush tannins and wonderful freshness, finishing with epically long-lingering spicy notes.
