Occasional wine note

We used to be Chimney Rock Wine Club members and this single vineyard offering has always been our favorite. It really holds its own in the midst of a Stag's Leap region renown for producing powerful wines. This one is powerful, but opulent and sexy at the same time. What a beauty!

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.
