Blended of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot, the 1976 Chappellet Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is medium brick in color and gives up sweaty leather and Band-Aid notes with a core of baked raspberries and dried cherries plus hints of smoked game and damp soil. The palate is medium-bodied with relatively chewy, rustic tannins and plenty of earth layers, finishing long.
