2007 Chappellet Pritchard Hill Estate Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Full-bodied and layered with tremendous depth as well as purity and that nobility of great Cabernet Sauvignon that very few regions in the world can achieve, this youngster, although approachable and seductive now, should evolve for 25-30 more years.

A tremendous Cabernet, authoritative and exciting… A real accomplishment and a great compliment to the high altitude Stagecoach Vineyard, which straddles the Atlas Peak and Napa Valley appellation lines.

2006 Krutz Family Cellars “Stagecoach Vineyard” Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
This is really a spectacular wine. It’s hard to say why it’s so superior to Krutz’s 2005 bottling, but it’s richer and more elegant in every respect. Combines immense power with great finesse.
