2019 Chimney Rock Cabernet Sauvignon Tomahawk
2019 Chimney Rock Cabernet Sauvignon Tomahawk This wine is generous and complex with aromas of cherry cola, cassis and chocolate. Some savory notes and hints of citrus zest and mint. This wine is intensely aromatic and develops in the glass as layers are revealed. Flavor : This full-bodied wine is powerful yet exhibits grace and finesse. A rich and dense mid-palate evolves into a muscular and graceful finish
94 Jeb Dunnuck: More cassis, black cherry, chalky minerality, and floral notes emerge from the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Tomahawk Vineyard, a 100% Cabernet aged 18 months in 70% new French oak. It’s rich, medium to full-bodied, and concentrated, with plenty of tannins as well as terrific overall balance. It’s certainly approachable today, yet it’s going to benefit from 2-4 years in the cellar and should drink brilliantly over the following 15 years or more. It’s a classic Stags Leap Cabernet.
Rating: 94+
93 James Suckling: A fragrant nose of plums, dark cherries, mulberries, dried flowers, sweet spices and violets. Medium- to full-bodied with firm, fine tannins and fresh acidity. Velvety and creamy. Pretty purple fruit and floral notes on a supple finish. Drink after 2022.
92 The Wine Advocate: Marked by scents of black cherries, earth, cassis, cedar and vanilla, the 100% Cab 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Tomahawk Vineyard is medium to full-bodied, reasonably concentrated but silky and not overly tannic. Gentle and harmonious, it then turns a bit crisp on the finish.
