The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon opens with enticing scents of raspberry jam sweet herbs and spices. There is a centeredness and a poise to the 2009 that give the wine its sense of harmony and total balance. Sweet floral notes reappear on the engaging finish. As good as this is today it will only be better in another 2-3 years. This is another fabulous effort from Chimney Rock. The blend is 89% Cabernet Sauvignon 9% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024.-Antonio Galloni
