This is a velvet thunderclap from a legendary Napa vintage. Power dressed in elegance.
The Iron Fist in a Velvet Glove
If you’ve ever wondered what people mean when they say Stags Leap is the “iron fist in a velvet glove,” this is it. Chimney Rock’s 2016 Cabernet is broad-shouldered, sure, but also polished and poised. From the sun-soaked slopes of the Vaca Mountains, this wine is pure Stags Leap: blackcurrant and blackberry richness, layered with mocha, bay leaf, and fine spice.
The 2016 vintage, widely hailed as one of Napa’s modern greats, lends this wine a special kind of gravity. The tannins steal the show—abundant but fine, framing the wine like an expertly tailored suit. Crafted entirely from estate-grown fruit, this Cabernet speaks with unmistakable authority.
How to Enjoy
A time capsule of a golden year in Napa, this is perfect for a special occasion steak dinner or to lay down in the cellar.
