Score 96/100 · Drink 2022-2036, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Dec 2018

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Tomahawk Vineyard is another absolutely delicious wine from Chimney Rock. Dense and powerful, but never heavy, the 2016 has so much going on. Inky blue/purplish fruit, spice, new leather, tobacco, cedar and exotic floral notes all run through this dense, potent Stags Leap Cabernet. This is the first vintage in which a portion of the lots were fermented in barrel.

Attractive focus and concentration of blackcurrants and blueberries, set amid flavor-soaked, ripe and fine tannins that carry long into a very plush, glossy finish. Pure cabernet sauvignon. Drink or hold.

One-hundred percent Cabernet Sauvignon, the deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Tomahawk reveals decadent scents of blueberry compote, crème de cassis, Black Forest cake and Chinese five spice with touches of bay leaves and menthol. Full-bodied, bold and spicy in the mouth, it has a lovely velvety texture and a spicy lift to the finish.
