Description
Chimney Rock was founded in 1980 and has distinctive Cape Dutch design influences thanks to their South African founders. Now owned by the Terlato family they make some of the most elegant wines in Stags Leap District.
This Cabernet is silky smooth, with a deeply structured backbone of velvety tannins supporting aromas of blackcurrant, liquorice, clove, cinnamon and vanilla.
