CHIMNEY ROCK<br />
The story of Chimney Rock is entwined with the story of Napa Valley's Stags<br />
Leap District, home to some of the most elegant Cabernet Sauvignon produced<br />
on American soil. The winery's beginnings hark back to the original<br />
owners' love of Bordeaux. When the late Hack Wilson and his wife Stella<br />
retired after a long career in the beverage industry, they decided to fulfill a<br />
life-long passion and began searching for a winery. Their search started in<br />
South Africa, their home, and continued in France. In 1980, a 185-acre<br />
estate located on the Napa Valley's Silverado Trail and occupied by a golf<br />
course called Chimney Rock, captivated the Wilsons and they decided to<br />
make it home. By this time, the Stags Leap area was already gaining worldwide<br />
attention and acclaim for its Cabernet Sauvignon.<br />

RUTHERFORD HILL<br />
U.S.A.<br />
NAPA VALLEY, CALIFORNIA<br />
NAPA VALLEY, CALIFORNIA<br />
Nestled high in the Eastern Hills, Rutherford Hill Winery commands a spectacular<br />
view overlooking the Rutherford bench of Napa Valley. It is from a handful of the<br />
most select Napa vineyards that Rutherford Hill continues its tradition of crafting<br />
legendary wines. In 1976, while the rest of the world was just beginning to take<br />
notice of Napa Valley, the founders of Rutherford Hill recognized a unique opportunity.<br />
They believed that the climate and soil of the valley, similar to Pomerol, were<br />
well suited to Merlot and were among the first to pioneer what has become<br />
Napa's premier varietal. Today, this tradition of quality continues, expressed by<br />
wines of great complexity and character.<br />
