The resulting wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, with a rich and complex flavor profile that showcases dark fruit, spice, and earthy notes. Chimney Rock Elevage is a luxurious and elegant wine that is perfect for special occasions or as a gift for wine enthusiasts. Pros:
- Balanced and complex flavors of apple, apricot, yellow peach, and honey
Cons:
- High alcohol content may be overpowering
Wine Expert Note:
This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot from Chimney Rock showcases the best of Napa Valley. Rich, dark and powerful, it offers aromas of dark fruit, cassis, vanilla, mocha and tobacco, followed by layers of ripe, juicy blackberry and currant fruit, licorice, milk chocolate and spice. The tannins are ripe and balanced, and the long finish is full of flavor. This is a powerful, complex and delicious wine that will age gracefully.Taste Flavor
