Chalk Hill
Estate Bottled Chalk Hill Chardonnay
Chalk Hill, Sonoma County, California, USA
This is a tasty oaky Chardonnay from Chalk Hill in Russian River Valley.
Dry on the palate with mild complexity.
Showing oak, vanilla, lemons, apples, pears and light spices.
Spicy finish with almonds.
A good quality wine. Easy drinking, elegant and bold.
Still young and has good potential to be better in a few years.
A nice food wine, and good for parties, too.
I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.
100% Chardonnay grapes were aged in (40% new) French Oak barrels for 11 months. Unfiltered.
14.9% alcohol by volume.
88 points.
$30.

A Fav! Medium lemon with aromas of stone fruits, spice, floral, cedar, biscuits and citrus. On the palate apple, pear & ripe apricot with some citrus zest, honeysuckle and nutty toasty oak notes, rich with creamy tones. Smooth, long finish, well balanced with acidity, ending with fruit and integrated creamy oak. Nice! Just tried my first ‘19, outstanding!!
