History
Founded in 1980 and owned by The Terlato family, Chimney Rock produces hand-crafted Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux-varietal blends from its estate vineyards in the Stags Leap District. Chimney Rock's winemaker, Elizabeth Vianna produces elegant wines that display the promise of the Stags Leap District terroir. The estate-grown Bordeaux-style red wines are finely structured with supple tannins that make them approachable upon release, but can also be enjoyed following years in the cellar. Chimney Rock's innovative white wine Elevage Blanc stays true to the winery's focus on creating elegant, world-class fine wines.
