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. - Jeb Dunnuck

#5 Wine Spectator Wine of the Year 2024. 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.?James Molesworth

Attractive aromas of blackcurrants walnuts spiced cedar and black olives. Full and creamy yet polished and sleek with bright fruit and fine slightly chewy tannins. Chalky finish. Try after 2025.

Chimney Rock's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap District is pretty textbook stuff delivering black cherries and cassis dusted in dried earth and mixed spices. Medium to full-bodied it's silky and fine not overpowering but rather elegant with a long lingering finish. - By Joe Czerwinski 12/23
