If you were to travel in time to Napa Valley hundreds of years ago, and you found yourself on the land that is now Chimney Rock you would likely catch a glimpse of the Wappo or Onasati natives in the hills above, hunting for their subsistence in the sites which are now known as Arrowhead and Tomahawk Vineyard. They were one with the land and we try to emulate their respect and reverence for nature in everything we do. It was in their honor that these vineyards were named.
In Stock
The 2021 growing season started as a classic drought year, and what we thought would be an extremely early harvest. We had lower than average rainfall during the winter, and not a drop of rain from April through October. The arrival of more moderate weather in August and September, allowed us to wait for great flavor development. Although we had a later finish than we expected, the mid-October harvest end still qualifies as an early harvest. Our yields were lower, but the quality was incredible with lots of color, concentration, and beautiful aromatics.

Tasting Notes
This wine is very expressive with aromas of black cherry, violets with hints of caramel and vanilla. On the palate this Cabernet is medium-bodied, silky, and supple with lots of red fruit freshness and a slightly denser structure than usual.
