9.1

Very pale slightly green tinged straw color with appealing petrol, stone fruit, lime, wet stone, and a hint of lychee aromas. On the palate it approaches medium-bodied and is dry, clean, focused, and well-structured with peach, lime, passion fruit and mineral flavors. Long persistent finish. 12.5% alcohol. Made from 40 year old vines. SRP - $27 — 11 years ago

Drinking really damn well. If you have an '03, pop it. Still growing up, but you may want to enjoy this while it has it's Spring Mountain intensity fully intact. — 10 years ago

Perhaps the very best value of 2011 @ 2012... Bold and full of sediment but so well worth the $22 you'll pay... This is a crowd pleaser when the crowd knows wine... This is Chateau Chevalier..... — 14 years ago

If someone for some wild reason gave you a red bell pepper creme brûlée, this is what it would smell like. Loving my napa cabs lately, especially 09s. Young but developing really well here. Black plums and dates on the nose, blackberry reduction on the palate. Mossy earth and a nutmeg and fennel like spice to it. Long finish that really impresses. — 10 years ago

Great story behind the wine. And she is holding up extremely well. Sous bios with a hint of VA complement the red cherry fruit and forest floor. 87s turning out to challenge 85/86, and a shade behind 84. — 12 years ago
