Community Tasting Note

deon40g Likes this wine:

Sunday, February 23, 2014 - The CellarTracker community currently rates the 2009 Chateau Chevalier Cabernet Sauvignon as 90 points with only two ratings so far for this vintage. However, the CT community reinforces this rating with a consistent regard for previous vintages. Wine Spectator has not published a rating for the 2009 vintage, but it did rate the 2008 as 85 points. My impression falls in between the CT and WS ratings. I rate the 2009 Chateau Chevalier Cabernet Sauvignon as 88 points. It is a solid cabernet for $30 and worthy of Napa origin. It won’t blow your socks off, but it is a good holdover to avoid dipping into your more highly regarded cabs too early. The QPR is reasonable for this well rounded cabernet.

Rating Scale: Extraordinary (95-100 points); Outstanding (90-94); Very Good to Excellent (85-89); Good (80-84); Average (75-79); Below average (70-74); Avoid (50-69)

Note: Cost reflects base price only; it excludes any taxes and shipping.
