Chimney Rock Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

In the heart of Napa’s most intimate and prestigious neighborhood sits a winery that has captivated me since my early days as a sommelier – Chimney Rock. Perched along the legendary Silverado Trail in the Stags Leap District (Napa’s smallest but arguably most elite sub-appellation), this estate has been turning heads since 1984 with wines that perfectly capture what makes this tiny slice of Napa so special.

Trust me when I tell you – there’s something special about Stags Leap fruit, and nobody understands this better than winemaker Elizabeth Vianna. Her wines are exactly what you want from this hallowed ground – that remarkable tension between power and elegance that only Stags Leap can deliver. When people ask me what makes Stags Leap different from the rest of Napa, I can just pour them a glass of Chimney Rock. It tells the story better than words ever could.
