2010 Ganymede Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap District

Ganymede continually exemplifies the elusive balance of structure and grace that is so revered in Chimney Rock wines. 94 points (Wine Spectator)
 

Description

When the winemaking team at Chimney Rock carefully crafts the wines from a particular vintage, we will often taste “blind” to remove any potential bias and more objectively evaluate the quality of each vineyard block. On rare occasion, a wine will stand out as so distinctive and beautiful that, despite our earnest eff orts, it simply refuses to be anonymous. Almost invariably, this wine hails from our Ganymede Vineyard.  Our team has over two decades of experience with this small yet glorious vineyard, and the superlatives are difficult to suppress.  This wine is a sleeping lover. A sky rocket. A pure, shared smile on that day of days. Unforgettable.

Tasting Notes

Very full-bodied and incredibly rich in mid-palate.The tannins are powerful but silky in texture on the finish.

Other Notes

Some time of additional bottle ageing or decanting recommended. This wine will age 15-20 years.
