Chimney Rock Description
Tomahawk Vineyard, named for the Native American Onasatis that once hunted in the Napa Valley, is a small group of vines at the southern end of the property and represents the pinnacle of the Chimney Rock estate. Planted in 2002, this vineyard produces truly world class fruit that is intense, compelling, multi-layered, and elegant with the lush mid-palate and lengthy finish that is the hallmark of Chimney Rock.
AROMA: Heady with aromas of intense dark cherry, violets, espresso, plums, and a hint of dried herbs.
TASTE: Powerful, and voluptuous. This seductive beauty is rich and lush with beautiful layers of fruit and graceful tannins with a long finish.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Tomahawk Vineyard is slightly brighter and more perfumed than the Ganymede, offering a brilliant array of crème de cassis and black raspberries as well as spicy oak, graphite, and spring flower notes. It has classic Stags Leap vibrancy and complexity, is medium to full-bodied, and has plenty of polished tannins as well as a great finish. It deserves 4-6 years in the cellar, and I suspect this will be very long-lived. It's a gorgeous wine that shows the style of the vintage to a T.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Tomahawk Vineyard emerges from the youngest block on the vineyard, planted nearly twenty years ago. Readers will find a pure, voluptuous wine that is immediately engaging. Succulent dark cherry, plum, espresso, licorice, incense and new leather fill out the layers effortlessly. I imagine the Tomahawk will require only modest cellaring.
