2022 | Chimney Rock 'Elevage' Red | Stags Leap District Tenuta Le Potazzine Generous on the palateChimney Rock's 2022 Elevage Estate Grown is a blend of 58% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot that spent 18 months in 90% new French oak. Scents of hickory smoke and clove lend an almost bacony cast to the ripe black cherry fruit on the nose, while the full bodied palate is lush and creamy, slightly loosening and becoming less smooth on the softly dusty velvety finish. 93 Pts Robert Parker
