Blend of Cab Sauv (Dominant), Cab Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot & Malbec, crested by 30 year Chappellet veteran winemaker Phillip Titus. Tasted this at an event, wine displaying youthful aromas of black fruit, spices and flinty notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and black cherry with some vanilla and cacao adding in some herbal floral notes. Vivid acidity & firm tight tannins with lingering finish ending with a youthful character should bode well for some bottle aging. Tasting Sample. — 5 years ago

2013 Malbec from Chappellet family. Always impressed with this mountain grown Malbec from Phillip Titus. Features Carissa's Dragon series art work on the label. Aromas of Dark fruit & Cherries with flavor of Dark Roast coffee, chocolate and rich tannins on the palate and finish. Yum!! — 8 years ago
Aromatically reminiscent of a St Emilion in a great year. Rich mouthfeel with beautiful balance and length. Kudos to Phil Titus on this beautiful effort. — 9 years ago
Had this 6 mos ago at Tasting, liked it, bought several bottles for cellar. Blend of Cab Sauv, Cab Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot & Malbec, made by 30 year Chappellet winemaker Phillip Titus. Deep Ruby, purple edges, youthful aromas of black fruit, spices and flinty notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and black cherry with some vanilla and tobacco and herbal floral notes. Vivid acidity & firm tight tannins with long finish ending with a youthful character, aging well should benefit from bottle aging. — 4 years ago
