Jeb Dunnuck: 95 Points
Looking first at the 2021 Cabernet Franc, this beauty is based on 78% Cabernet Franc, 7% each Merlot and Malbec, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Red and black currants, fresh figs, savory flowers, spicy wood, and some camphor notes all soar from the glass, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a pure, elegant mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and outstanding length. This is a stunning Cabernet Franc to enjoy over the coming 15 years or more.
Wine Advocate: 95 Points
Chappellet's 2021 Cabernet Franc is quite floral on the nose, those hints of violets and sage blossoms adding a wonderful lift to the vanilla-accented cherries and raspberries at the core of the wine. Full-bodied and richly concentrated, with a long finish that's simultaneously dusty and mouthwatering, this is almost approachable already, yet it looks to have the potential to age well for at least two decades. The final blend is 78% Cabernet Franc, 7% each Malbec and Merlot, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot.
James Suckling: 94 Points
A dark red with aromas of blackberries, dark cherries, cassis and sweet spices. Medium to full body with fine tannins. Plush and opulent with a concentration of dark fruit at the center and a lively finish with excellent length. Yet remains very fresh. Just a hint of tannin austerity keeps it lively.
Wine Enthusiast: 93 Points
Aromatics and flavors with a mix of fresh Italian herbs, ripe juicy plum, graphite and light cocoa powder provide satisfying, mouthfilling flavor. Supple tannins and mouthwatering acidity carry into an impressively long finish in this generous and delicious Cabernet Franc accented by the full host of other Bordeaux varieties—Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot.
