94 points Robert Parker: "The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Tomahawk Vineyard comes from the southern edge of the estate. The color is a saturated ruby/purple. The wine possesses juicy, intense, pure, well-etched blackcurrant and black cherry fruit intermixed with underlying rocky minerality. This opulent, full-bodied 2012 is among the most concentrated and broadly textured of Chimney Rock’s 2012s. A beauty, it can be drunk early in life or cellared for 15 or more. Drink: 2014-2030. (Oct 2014)"
93 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "Chimney Rock's 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Tomahawk Vineyard is dark, round and sumptuous. Red cherry, plum, menthol, tobacco and sweet spices all flesh out in a radiant, pliant Cabernet Sauvignon that should offer a wide window of highly pleasurable drinking. This is a fabulous example of the pure appeal of 2012. Drink: 2017-2032. (Dec 2014)"
92 points Wine Spectator: "[$136 list] Shows excellent structure, focus, richness and texture, with a deep and potent core of currant and dark berry flavors. The texture is framed by firm yet generous tannins, and the finish is long and engaging. Drink now through 2029. 961 cases made. (10/31/15)"
92 points/'Cellar Selection,' Wine Enthusiast: "[$136 list] From an estate-grown, valley-floor vineyard on the southern edges of the winery property, this wine is complex and nuanced in berry pie and a satchel of dried herb. Sizable tannins—which show promise to be tamed with time—form the integrated structure, supporting a lengthy, mocha-chocolate finish. Cellar through 2020. Alcohol 14.5%. (Dec 2015)"
