Wine lovers, take note! Napa Valley's Stags Leap region is home to some of the most outstanding red wines you'll ever taste. Check out our top picks. 🍷 NapaValley RedWine
Wine grapes were first planted in what is now the Stags Leap District AVA in the 1870s, when Silverado Trail was still plied by farmers on horseback rather than revelers in party limos off to visit their favorite Napa Valley wineries. The first Cabernet Sauvignon was planted here in 1961, and since that time the “valley within a valley,” as it has been called, has become renowned for Cabernet Sauvignon and red blends known for their power and grace.
Tomahawk Vineyard was planted in 2002 and represents a small grouping of vines at the southern end of Chimney Rock’s property that consistently amazes winemakers with the quality of its fruit. The 2019 has aromas of dried Mediterranean herbs, black cherry, creosote, and cassis with a whiff of eucalyptus. The first sip reveals flavors of dark fruits and red cherries with notes of cigar box, tobacco leaf, and mint in the finish. Drink now or through 2029.
Named for the large wooden cask that housed the winery’s first single barrel bottling, this 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon stunner is blended from the estate’s S.L.V. and FAY vineyards. It spent 21 months in 100 percent new French oak and has aromas of Earl Grey tea, black licorice, and cassis. In the palate there are flavors of black raspberry, black plum, brown baking spices, and dried sage.
