The Winery

Chalk Hill

Perhaps no other winery captures the casual luxury of Sonoma County better than Chalk Hill Estate. Founded nearly four decades ago, this spectacular 1300-acre property features 300 acres of vineyards, wilderness areas, winery, hospitality center, culinary garden, residence, stables, and equestrian pavilion. The winery's vineyards are thoughtfully woven through the native foliage and contoured to fit the intricate terrain. More than two-thirds of the Chalk Hill Estate remains uncultivated. The higher elevations offer stunning views of the Russian River Valley to the west and the Mayacamas Mountains to the east.

Tasting Notes

WA90
Composed of 47% Malbec, 27% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Petit Verdot, 11% Syrah and 3% Carmenère, the 2011 Proprietary Red Estate is one of the most singular and unique blends in Northern California. Attractive notes of blackcurrants, spice box, earth and background oak are followed by a medium to full-bodied wine revealing hints of camphor, charcoal and espresso roast. This elegant, savory, strong 2011 has the finesse and lightness provided by this vintage, resulting in a European-styled red. Drink it over the next decade.
