Chimney Rock Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap District Estate 2021

95 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap District is based on 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, 3% Merlot, and minuscule percentages of Petit Verdot and Malbec that's all from estate fruit in the Stags Leap District. It offers a pure, medium to full-bodied, incredibly elegant style as well as tons of minerality in its red and black fruits, ripe, building tannins, nicely integrated acidity, and just a kiss of background oak. I love the overall style of this beauty, which will compete with wines two to three times the price. Drink 2026-2041 (Dec 2023)"

94 points & '#6 Top 100 Wines of 2024' Wine Spectator: "Super lush and polished in feel, with creamy-textured açaí, mulberry and cassis notes gliding through slowly. Laced with alluring hints of violet, iris and anise, this offers a melted licorice note on the finish, but the fruit wins out easily. Drink now through 2037. (Jun 2024)"

93 points Decanter: "Fragrant and ripe cherry fruit is laced with ironstone minerality and charged with dizzying wild herbs and dried spring flowers. Medium-bodied with a dirth of firm, taut tannins that support a panoply of crunchy red fruit, spiced plums, and elegant cedarwood. Aged 18 months in 50% new French Oak rounded out with tiny splashes of Petit Verdot and Malbec. Drinking window 2024-2034 (May 2024)"
