Did a search on this wine and saw nothing and was surprised there were no previous notes. 2004 Chappellet Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Signature - USA, California, Napa Valley (3/22/2009) I was able to buy this for $31 with a coupon and wish I had gotten more at that price (though I just picked up another bottle of 03 Ladera for less than $31). I decanted this for an hour, and there are still prevalent tannins, but they are smooth and unobtrusive as there is good, solid fruit to offset and the wine is well balanced. There is both red and dark fruit with significant tannin and medium acidity on a finish of about 30-35 seconds. No heat either. Not quite the layers or complexity to score higher, but a very nice wine that is worth its price more so that most other Napa cabs. (91 pts.) | ||

This is a really good wine IMHO. They've been doing it Right since 1999 after years in decline. I went to a recent Wine Club event of theirs in NYC and everything they poured was excellent. | |||

Opened my last Magnum on Christmas. In a really good place. 6 hour Slow Ox method. Nose of cherries, intergrated and very seemless and nice now. A nice finish as well. Work on the 05's next year. 93 points | |||
