Tasting notes
Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Chabot Vineyard is deep garnet-purple. It rocks up with ready-to-sip scents of blackberry pie, red currants and black raspberries, plus touches of garrigue, crushed rocks and charcoal with a hint of wild thyme. Medium-bodied, the palate is finely framed, refreshing and elegantly styled with a slight chew to the texture and an herbal lift on the finish. 505 cases were made.

From the vineyard used for the first Private Reserve bottling, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Chabot Vineyard is all Cabernet that was raised in 100% new barrels. It has a ripe yet elegant, medium to full-bodied style that carries lovely notes of ripe red and black fruits, chocolate, spice, and dried herbs. I love its balance, and it offers ripe tannins, plenty of sweet fruit, and a great finish.
The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Chabot Vineyard is a pretty, supple wine that will drink well early on. Sweet floral and spice notes add perfume as well as lift. Medium in body and gracious, the 2017 shows plenty of the raciness that is so typical of St. Helena Cabernets. This is very nicely done.
