Chalk Hill Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
Cabernet Sauvignon
from Sonoma County, California
winemaker's notes:
A Bordeaux blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Malbec, 4% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc.
At Chalk Hill, Cabernet Sauvignon wine growing is a composition of diverse microclimates, distinct clones, hillside terrains and sunny exposures. This wine lends aromas of cassis, autumn leaves, graphite and mocha which prelude a palate laced with bramble berries, earth, roasted espresso beans, tar and black spices.
Its youthful yet integrated tannin structure makes this wine worthy of aging for 5 to 10 years.
