Chimney Rock Tomahawk Napa Cab

Tomahawk Vineyard is the pinnacle of the Chimney Rock estate. Comprised of a small group of vines which were planted in 2002, Tomahawk consistently produces intense, massively complex fruit. The ensuing wines are truly worldclass, compelling, powerful and elegant with a remarkably lengthy finish.At Chimney Rock, we celebrate the singularity of this vineyard, and so we release it as a pure expression of Cabernet Sauvignon from the Stags Leap District.
