Chimney Rock Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
A classic Stags Leap District Cabernet! Chimney Rock's 134-acre estate lies in the heart of the Stags Leap District, the first viticultural area in the United States to be approved based on the distinctiveness of its soils. With 28 distinctive vineyard blocks showing an array of different aspects, soil types, clones and rootstocks, the vineyard provides a diversity of flavors that are artfully blended to capture the holistic representation of the estate Cabernet Sauvignon. 92 Points Robert Parker: "Chimney Rock's 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon is another gorgeous, silky wine. Nothing in particular stands out, just the wine's poise and harmony. Sweet red berries, flowers and spices linger on the impeccable, polished finish."

Dark purplish red. Rather tight on the nose with dark and sweet spices, cinnamon, brown sugar, asian spices and dark raspberries. Heavy tannins (7.5/10) and medium to medium plus bodied. Solid acidity with a fruity attack, dark red berries, spices, cinnamon and gravel. A touch of heat with a dry and long finish. Needed an hour and a half plus decant. Drink till 2024. (91+)

Crushed flowers, bramble, and light cedar on nose and tongue. Moderate tannins. Medium mouthfeel. Great with steak.

Exceptional wine. Firm but not over powering tannins or acidity. Deep purple inky coloring. Slightly silky texture. Bursting of bright red fruit from start to finish. Even better an hour after opening.

2012 vintage. Would recommend decanting for at least 30+ mins. Opened up very nicely.

Napa cab in its native habitat, i.e. paired with$82 filet in Palm Beach, FL. They truly deserve each other.
