Chappellet, Napa Valley, Signature, Cabernet Sauvignon 1981 Tempranillo lovely sweet red spicesBase of neck WINERY NOTES 1981 SIGNATURE CABERNET SAUVIGNON Winemaker, Cathy Corison The 1981 Chappellet Cabernet Sauvignon reminds me a lot of the 1979 Cabernet, but with the volume turned down a bit. Like the 1979, it is very Bordeaux like with medium body, firm structure, and moderate alcohol. Flavors of tobacco, cherries, and even some licorice mingle to lend ever changing interest.
