eRobertParker.com #222 Dec 2015 Robert M. Parker, Jr. Rated 96 Drink: 2016 – 2041   The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Signature from Chappellet, a blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Malbec and the rest Merlot and Petit Verdot, is a stunner. Moreover, it?s a pretty realistic value for a top-notch Cabernet from California. Of course, it?s a great vintage and they?ve nailed it. Deep ruby/purple color, notes of blueberry, blackberry, with cassis, camphor and spring flowers, the wine is full-bodied, powerful (14.8% natural alcohol), layered with supple tannins and a long, long finish. This wine can be drunk now, or cellared for 25 or more years.
