Chappellet produces wines of extraordinary power, grace and balance. The family purchased 320 acres of rocky hillsides above the valley in the mid-sixties including the soon to be famous Pritchard Hill Vineyard, which quickly became recognized as one of the worlds best locations to grow Cabernet Sauvignon. When Donn Chappellet purchased those 320 acres of prime mountainside Napa land, he paid the same price that it would cost to buy one comparable acre today, thus these world class wines are often a fraction of the price of their less heralded neighbor’s.
