Chimney Rock
Cabernet Sauvignon
Stags Leap District 2009
| Vintage: | 2009 |
| Varietal: | Cabernet Sauvignon |
| Appellation: | Stags Leap District |
| Alcohol %: | 14.50% |
| Tasting Notes: | The fruit aromas range from bright cherry to notes of blueberry and black currant. There are intricate hints of vanilla, violets and clove. This wine is pure elegance on the palate. The silkiest of tannins coated by a luch midpalate end with an ever-soft but lingering finish. |
| Vineyard Notes: | Our 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, our vineyard provides a diversity of flavors that are artfully blended to capture the holistic representation of our estate Cabernet Sauvignon. |
| Production Notes: | In 2009, we were blessed with another dry spring, and beautiful temperate weather throughout the growing season. The few late rains had little effect on our intensely flavored and elaborately ripe, yet balanced, fruit. |
