Reviews:
Untitled
"Smooth, with appealing up-front cherry and berry fruit that's ripe and vivid, with a dusty, cedary oak that tends to dominate the aftertaste. Drink now through 2010. 500 cases made. –JL " -Rated 88, Wine Spectator

"Elegant reds and whites routinely emerge from Chimney Rock. In fact, those who claim California wines lack finesse and delicacy should check out these offerings. The 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Stag’s Leap District Reserve’s deep ruby/purple color is followed by a discrete but complex nose of black fruits, licorice, earth, and subtle oak. Rich and medium-bodied, with outstanding intensity and a long, rich finish, it should be consumed over the next 10-12 years." -Rated 90, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"Expensive, yes, but this is a wine of very high quality. The Cabernet Sauvignon shines through, showing enormous black currant flavor, and then there are the wonderfully ripe, smooth tannins that make the wine glide like velvet. It seems to be best now, but should hold for some years. — S.H. (12/1/2005) " -Rated 93, Wine Enthusiast
