Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The less expensive 2010 Endre (53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc aged in both French and Hungarian oak) is very Bordeaux like. Notes of bouquet garni, red and black currants...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: Fantastic aromatics with blackberries, blackcurrants and iodine. Licorice, too. Medium to fulll body, fine and velvety tannins and a very polished and gorgeous finish. Caressing and dialed in. Why wait? An intellectual...

jamessuckling.com, 98 points: The evolution of this wine has been phenomenal since I tasted it in barrel a year ago with the same black cherry, plum and citrus character but with a turn to orange leaf, dark Chinese tea, and mushroom. Full body, fine...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: Deep garnet colored, the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate displays a very slowly evolving nose of crème de cassis, chocolate-covered cherries, vanilla pod and smoked meats with touches of dried Provence herbs, cedar chest...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Louer Family is a blockbuster of power and elegance. Young, exuberant and youthful, with a dense purple color, notes of charcoal and smoke from the barrels interwoven with copious quantities of...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: While the 2002 which was quite extroverted right before bottling has shut down the 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is still open-knit although I suspect it will probably close down as well. It exhibits an opaque...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Medium to deep garnet in color, the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is a little mute at this stage, offering up glimpses of crushed blackberry, red plums and wild blueberries notes with touches of pencil shavings, dried...

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: This has a leafy currant, mint, and raspberry nose. Complex and very pretty. Full bodied and very firm, with super fine tannins and a long, long finish. This is subtle and complex, but needs another three years.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: Deep garnet in color, the 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate leaps from the glass with notes of crushed blackberries, black cherries and Bing cherries with hints of raspberry leaves, bay leaves and underbrush plus a waft of...

jebdunnuck.com, 96 points: Looking at the two releases from Chappellet, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Signature is the larger production cuvee and sees 22 months in 50% new French oak. Its deep, inky color is followed by an incredibly pure bouquet of...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 100 points: Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon charges from the gate with exuberant red and black cherries notes, black currants and mulberries with a beautiful roses and lavender perfume, plus hints...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 100 points: (WA 97-100 points) A barrel sample blended of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Malbec coming from six vineyards and reared in 100% new French oak, the 2015 Insignia Proprietary Red Wine...

Wine Spectator, 92 points: Old-school but well-done this is tight and firm showing a dense balanced mix of dried currant mineral cedar cigar box and tobacco flavors. Ends with good depth range of flavor and tannins. Best from 2013 through 2023.-J.L.
