"You haven't drunk too much wine if you can still lie on the floor without holding on." ~ Dean Martin
When people ask me “what is the greatest appellation in Napa Valley for Bordeaux varietals”? I will not hesitate to say Oakville. Oakville produces some of the greatest Bordeaux blends from Napa Valley and are distinct in their forward and seductive nature, some of the stars of this region include Opus One, Robert Mondavi Winery, Beckstoffer’s To Kalon Vineyard wines, Screaming Eagle, Plumpjack, Groth and Silver Oak just to name a few.
But there is an area that is even better than Oakville, but it is not considered an AVA. The Chappellet family has been up on Prichard Hill since the late 1960’s and were the first in modern times to establish vineyards up there and then trademarked the name. Some of the newcomers to the hill include Bryant Family, Colgin, David Arthur, Ovid, Continuum, Brand and Gandona Estate. There are just over a dozen brands that exist from this unique terroir which was described by Donn Chappellet as “a hole” between Oakville, Howell Mountain, the Stags Leap District, Rutherford and Chiles Valley”.
The hill is named after homesteader Charles Pritchard. In the 1890 vintage, he harvested a crop of Zinfandel and Riesling, making Charles the first grape grower on the hill. There were a few others over the next few decades but from a viticultural point of view, most of the grape growing action was down on the valley floor at this time.
Pritchard Hill’s modern era began in 1967, when the Chappellets bought their property. Searching for the best site available, Donn sought the advice of André Tchelistcheff, the most famous winemaker in the valley at that time he was working at Beaulieu Vineyard.
“André replied, ‘All the grapes I get come from the valley floor. If I could get grapes from a hillside, I would,’ ” says Donn. Later, a real estate agent showed Donn Chappellet the Pritchard Hill property, and the rest is history.
Chappellet may be the best value in a high-level wine on the hill today as most of the people that have moved in recently charge $500 and up for a bottle of their top wine. We have one of the best prices in the country for their top wine produced from the best grapes on the property and we have a huge collection of their “Grower Collection” Chardonnay and Pinot Noir that are sourced from other top growers in Napa and Sonoma. Check out this amazing offering on one of the best producers in Napa Valley.

2021 Chappellet Proprietary Red Pritchard Hill Napa
Price: $352.50 Your Price: $259.00 Quantity in Stock: 20
(99 Points) Such an attractive and alluring bouquet of violet florals, blue fruit aromatics, sagebrush, bay laurel, and toasty cedarwood. Medium to full-bodied with a wonderfully rich fruit-forward palate of succulent blackberry, plums, and black cherry, nuanced by an inviting minerality with an ironstone quality laced by dried sage. The tannins are palate-etching and crisp and resolve with a fineness that leaves an overall impression of total harmony. Best from 2025; ideally, you'd hold off until near 2030 and enjoy until 2050. -Decanter
A bit about Chappellet Vineyard:
Established in 1967 by Donn and Molly Chappellet, Chappellet Vineyard is the second winery to be built in the Napa Valley after Prohibition - just after Robert Mondavi opened his doors in 1966. Wine had been a passion with the Chappellets for many years. After they were married on their last day in college, they drove through the Napa Valley and reflected on what a wonderful way of life it could someday be for them. Shortly thereafter, Donn went to work in the competitive, cutthroat business environment of Los Angeles and in 1955 co-founded the tremendously successful Interstate United Corporation, an industrial food service business in Los Angeles. Ten years later he left the business to establish a winery where he could challenge his creative instincts and find an appealing way of life for himself, his wife, and their six children.
Donn Chappellet found what was a natural amphitheater on Pritchard Hill on the slopes of Lake Hennessy some 1700 feet above the Napa Valley. He purchased almost 600 acres - a little over 100 of which would be planted to vineyards. Then, the vineyard land cost him about $4,000 an acre - today vineyards on Pritchard Hill go for twenty times that amount. Although the property was already partially planted to vineyards in 1964, Chappellet will always be regarded as the first modern California winery to make a major commitment to "mountain farming". Because of the added stress to the vines and the small, intensely- flavored grape yields, hillside and mountainside grapes often produce more powerful, long-lived wines than their counterparts on the valley floor. "The volcanic soils and warm, dry temperatures of Pritchard Hill contribute both force and finesse -the essence of truly great wine," says Donn Chappellet.
Chappellet's winemaking facility is symbolized on the label by the brand logo. Construction was begun on the building in 1968 and completed by the harvest of 1969. The spectacular geometric structure designed by Donn and Molly resembles a cathedral more than a winery. It is a section from a tetrahedron, which forms a pyramid. Intended to integrate with the natural environment, the building reflects the surrounding volcanic soils with a reddish steel roof. It is 212 feet on each side at the base with a towering roof of rust colored red steel parted by long panels of glass that bathe the interior in light. The inside is as interesting and spectacular as the outside. Two sides of the pyramid are stacked with small french oak barrels, where the wine develops until judged ready for the bottle. The third side, where rows of fermentors stand reaching toward the apex of the pyramid stretching above, completes the structure.
Today 110-acres of vines cling to the steep, terraced hillsides around the winery - the vineyard is planted to Cabernet, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, and Merlot. There once was an excellent Johanissberg Riesling, but sluggish sales forced a halt in production after the 1988 vintage. Dry-farmed until recently, the Chappellets have completed reservoirs enabling them to expand their planting program and explore new varietals and rootstocks. Chappellet remains family oriented with three children participating in "generation two" of Chappellet's sales and marketing efforts. Production has reached a level of 25,000 cases annually with four varietals: Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
To many critics Chappellet has been an enigma. The winery debuted in 1969 with what many regard as one of the greatest Cabernets of the vintage and repeated again in 1970 and 1973 with several more spectacular efforts. However, since then, the winery has never again reached its early heights with Cabernet - despite some excellent Cabernets made there in 1976, 1977, 1980, 1984, 1985, and 1987. In 1980 the winery began designating what it deemed its best vintages as "Signature Reserve". In a Signature year, all Chappellet Cabernet released is so labeled. In other years the Cabernet is sold simply as the Estate Cabernet. Over the years the winery has employed some of the legends in California winemaking. The first was Phil Togni, English-born and French-schooled, who had been a veteran of a number of other California operations from the gigantic Gallo to the tiny Chalone. Togni now operates his own small winery, and it has been drawing much recent critical acclaim. Shortly after the 1974 vintage (a disappointment for Chappellet), the young Joe Cafaro arrived fresh out of Fresno State; and Cafaro made wines there until the 1977 vintage. Cafaro left and went to Robert Keenan and then Acacia, where he made some legendary wines; today he is a highly-regarded consultant and operates his own small Cafaro Cellars, which has been heralded for its phenomenal Cabernets and Merlots. In 1977 Tony Soter joined Chappellet. Soter, who left in the early 1980's to develop and make the Spottswoode Cabernets and launch his own brand, Étude Wines, is considered one of the top half dozen winemakers in California. Soter was succeeded by Cathy Corison (now his former wife) who made wine at Chappellet through the '87 vintage. Corison has become an overnight star in the Napa Valley since leaving to make her own wines - her '88, '89 and '90 Cabernets have been among the top Napa Valley Cabernets in their price class. This all-star line-up of winemakers over the past two decades has further contributed to the mystery of inconsistency and occasional mediocrity at Chappellet. The next winemaker, Philip Titus, made several changes by increasing the use of malolactic fermentation and by employing more oak. We still have been underwhelmed by the results in the early nineties. It has not been until the 1996 & 1997 vintages that the Cabernets here have begun to show the signs of greatness that the early wines displayed.
The few Chappellet Merlots we have tasted have been rather ungenerous, green, and austere - though the 1987 was a very good wine. The Merlot has been produced in small quantities - usually less than a 1000-cases. The Chardonnays have always been dry, tight, lean, and acidic - those who prefer this style have found some merit in them. The 1997 “Signature” Chardonnay may be the best white wine ever made at the winery. The Judicious use of new French oak and malolactic fermentation has made this a luscious creamy wine with loads of ripe fruit and just the right touch of spicy oak nuances. Perhaps the most unusual success for Chappellet has been the very dry Chenin Blanc. While other wineries have long given up on this varietal, Chappellet has established a unique stylistic niche for Chenin Blanc. Robert Parker, who is unduly critical of Chappellet wines, characterizes the Chappellet Chenin Blanc as "consistently vivacious, exuberant, and tasty - a beverage of joy." Although normally produced in a sweet style, Chappellet's bone-dry version goes quite nicely with many foods.
The "Signature" Cabernet Sauvignon has been Chappellet's flagship wine for more than three decades. It is a benchmark for the long-lived hillside wines of the Napa Valley; full of structure and ageing potential, yet seductively forward in its concentrated varietal character. Collectors covet vintages from the 1970's, 1980's and 1990's, and the acclaimed 2000's uphold this enduring tradition.
This highly regarded, limited production Pritchard Hill wine was first made in the outstanding 1997 vintage to showcase the outstanding quality and crafted with the finest fruit from Chappellet’s rugged Pritchard Hill Vineyards.
