Chalk Hill Estate Bottled Cabernet Sauvignon

Chalk Hill Estate Bottled Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Details
Price: $64.00 per bottle

Description: The wine was aged for twenty months in predominantly new French oak. The final blend incorporated small amounts of the other Bordeaux varieties, including Petit Verdot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. These additions, all from our newest plantings of clones, fleshed out the structure and character of the blend and eliminated any need for fining. This wine is replete with aromas of ripe raspberry and blackberry, tinged with cigar box spice and dried flowers. The flavors add notes of black cherry syrup and blood orange to the mix, accentuating delicious contributions from toasty oak. The wine has substantial weight and grip, with silky tannins providing mid-palate sweetness and a lengthy finish.
