2017 Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon

The Chimney Rock Estate is blessed with a diversity of soil and topography that breeds complexity in our wines. To the east, our steep hills and shallow soils bring us density and power. On the north end, our proximity to the Palisades gifts us with ripeness and purity of fruit. To the south, our proximity to the bay brings us breezes that add the nuance of cooler climate--adding hints of dried herbs and mint. It is this diversity that has enabled us to represent the quintessence of Stags Leap District--the tension between grace and power, the balance of finesse and muscle. We are delighted to share the first of our 34th vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon: its beauty proclaims we are here to stay.

The soundtrack of harvest is extremely important to our winemaking team. We enjoy music and we are profoundly aware that every song played in the cellar needs to inspire our wines. If we had to designate a song that perfectly captured the spirit of the 2017 harvest – it would undoubtedly be James Taylor’s “I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain.” The 2017 vintage brought us one of the rainiest winters in the last few decades. In addition, on October 8th of that year Napa and Sonoma valleys experienced some of the most devastating wild fires.
