From Block 6 and Block 11 on the Amery Vineyards steeper slopes, this earthy red is aged 18 months in French and American oak. Big, spiced, and muscle-bound, with teeth-grabbing dark chocolate-covered tannins. Coffee bean and toasted oak bristle with black pepper, Italian herbs, black olive, and soy sauce.
Notes of earth and iron, with plum skin tannins are inviting and textural. Quality surpasses expectations for the price. It shows concentration and depth. Sage, black cherry, nutmeg and toasted cocoa come alive on the juicy finish.
Deep, dark fruit exchanges sweet with savory as black tea and toasted oak come into play. Juicy, delicious, and sensual.
Grapes come from one of Washington’s 1st growth vineyards, spending 19 months in 100% new French oak and 15 months in bottle. Bold and athletic, with savory notes of cigar leaf, slate, Worcestershire, and plum skin. Mid-palate notes of sage, black fruits and spiced mulberry are tested with muscle-bound tannins. It finishes with a wash of black olive and roasted espresso.
There’s a brilliance to this wine: a shiny penny with accents of laurel, rosemary, fennel, and cinnamon. Wild strawberry is lifted by its keen acidity, and a tension lies from mid-palate to its striking finish of sandalwood and white pepper.
A blend of 52% Pinot Noir and 48% Chardonnay, from a selection of Grand and Premier Crus. Aged ten years, fresh aromas of Cashew cream and lemon cake. Bright and vivacious, with tingling bubbles that reveal a delicate minerality and a hint of bergamot. Notes of ginger, white tea, and waves of Key lime and Mandarin orange edged by dramatic acidity.
On entry, notes of freshly squeezed tangerine dance with apricot. Precious bubbles feel lighter than air, with a veil of spearmint, rose petals, and candied ginger. A blend of 53% Pinot Noir, 32% Chardonnay, and 15% Pinot Meunier.
Crafted by the team at Chalk Hill Winery as a tribute to its original Healdsburg property, it exhibits savory aromas of dried fruit and cola. Bold and ripe, with notes of black cherry, tobacco, and chocolate-raspberry confection. We were drawn in by the sweet earth and roasted coffee finish.
