2013 Jericho Canyon Chimera

The 2013 Chimera is a bit softer than the estate's pure Cabernets. The addition of Merlot and Cabernet Franc introduce redder tonalities of fruit along with expressive floral and spiced notes that also serve to round out some of the contours. There is no shortage of depth or resonance here. Best of all, the 2013 will start to drink well much earlier than the Cabernets.
