Classy and classic, Donn Chappelet’s “Signature” Cabernet Sauvignon is irresistible. Precisely balanced between fruit, spice, oak and acid this California Cabernet is exactly the sort of red wine one yearns for. Its still-youthful vigor is appealing right now, but go ahead and decant it if you want, or leave it in the cellar for another couple of years if you are the patient type. Me, I think I’ll enjoy it right now, thank you very much.
