The 1981 Chappellet Signature Cabernet Sauvignon represents a historic release from one of Napa Valley’s pioneering mountain wineries. Perched high on Pritchard Hill, Chappellet has long been celebrated for crafting bold, age-worthy Cabernets that express both power and elegance.
This vintage displays the hallmarks of mature Napa Cabernet, with aromas of dried blackberry, cassis, leather, and cedar, layered with subtle notes of tobacco, spice, and earthy truffle that come only with decades of cellaring. On the palate, softened tannins and balanced acidity frame flavors of dark fruit, cocoa, and savory oak, leading to a smooth, lingering finish.
A rare find with over four decades of graceful evolution, the 1981 Signature Cabernet is a collectible bottle that offers both historical significance and a timeless expression of Napa Valley winemaking.
