2019 Chimney Rock Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap District
Community Tasting Note
The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine:
95 Points
Wednesday, December 7, 2022 - Retail $125. The older CRs were fantastic, truly. I love me some wine with some age on it, one where the fruit has mellowed, even faded, and the secondary, even tertiary elements come out to shine. Yeah. My wheelhouse. So when this 2019 was poured near the end of the tasting? I was skeptical, even dismissive. But holy cow and sweet baby prophet. Whoa. Dark, but short of brooding with dark berry and fleshy fruit, spice, earth, mocha—all there on the nose. The palate, however? Holy goodness: rich fruit, spice, earth, depth, but above all? Balance. The previous wines were all stellar, but this was a notch above. Whoa. 95.
