The Tomahawk vineyard grapes were fermented with selected yeasts in stainless steel tanks to retain the purity of fruit, with varying lengths of extended skin contact from 30 to 40 days to extract colour, flavour and fine tannins. Vinified without any additions, the wine matured for 18 months in French oak, 70% of which was new. 

This opulent Cabernet Sauvignon sings with complex aromas of damson, cherry, blackberry, cedar, tobacco, and a hint of caramel. It is rich and full-bodied, with fleshy tannins that envelop the fruit to a long, sumptuous finish. Chimney Rock now comprises 48 hectares of vineyard, divided into 28 distinct blocks, allowing for highly specialised viticulture suited to each specific site. Led by notable winemaker Elizabeth Vianna, Chimney Rock's award-winning wines have firmly cemented its reputation for producing some of the world's greatest estate Cabernet Sauvignon.

Rain during the early part of the growing season increased disease pressure in the vineyard, however, the summer warmed up and the threat dried up. The weather provided excellent conditions for the 2019 harvest in California. The summer was relatively mild and warm, with the warm, dry weather continuing into the autumn and creating perfect conditions for harvest. Overall, yields were slightly lower than the 2018 bumper crop, but the fruit created beautifully balanced wines with bright expression.
