Chappellet Sangiovese
I'm a fan of Chappellet Vineyards (Napa) Dry Chenin Blanc.
I tried Chappellet's Sangiovese ('99) the other day.
Le Skinny
Chappellet Sangiovese, 1999 ($14)
Napa Valley, California
A deep inky wine
Lots of red-heading-towards-black fruit and oak on the nose
Full bodied with big, round tannins and a smooth finish
This was a nice wine. Although, for a couple bucks less, Atlas Peak Sangiovese offers comparable quality
*** (3 stars out of 5)
