Another victim of last night's debauchery was one of these. Nice fruit on the nose. Good balanced with a deft touch on the palate. A light bodied CF that, again, should be drunk sooner than later IMO...

Typical Stags Leap District funky nose upon opening. One of the things I reallly appreciate about Chimney Rock's style of winemaking is their consistently reasonable alcohol level...kinda like Jordan in that respect. While their cabs are really pretty terrific by bringing the fruit expression without heat, this Franc offering was a little thin. The acidity balance was perfect, like most if not all their wines I've had, but was just missing a little something. All in all, however, quite pleasant.

Red berries at the start, but drops off quickly and is slightly vegetal. Not as full as I expected it to be.
