2013 Chimney Rock Cabernet Sauvignon Tomahawk Vineyard

Estate: Chimney Rock
Region: Stags Leap District, Napa Valley, California, United States of America
Vineyard: Tomahawk Vineyard


Tasting Note:July 22, 2017

Third red wine at Table #1 at Oakton Wine Shops Bucket List Tasting.

Dark purplish ruby red that completely coats the glass. A bit mute to start on the nose, with petrol to start with some tight dark berries. Heavy tannins (7/10) and solid acidity. Quite a bit of oak on the palate with red cherries, touch of earth, and twigs. Medium plus to full bodied. Very dry and long finish. Needs a little more time to fully develop.
