Chalk Hill Estate Red Blend 2022 - 750ml

94pts Wine Enthusiast

Concentrated aromas of black cherry, plum and coffee lift the nose of this blend. The palate delivers a punchy wave of raspberry acidity, supple tannin and flavors of berry compote and flowers that blossom on the finish.

94pts James Suckling

A massive, full-bodied Bordeaux-style blend that manages to be quite smooth and elegant in texture, with deep, dark fruit and chocolate taking center stage. So rich and dense but polished, with notes of cocoa, blackcurrants, balsam and spearmint. Full, fine-grained tannins and a lingering finish. 57% cabernet sauvignon, 25% malbec, 15% petit verdot and 3% syrah. Sustainable.

Winemaker Notes

This 2022 Estate Red opens with savory aromas of blueberry, blackberry, cigar box, tobacco leaf, black tea, and an underlying earthy/herbal tone. The palate is dense and complex with black cherry, vanilla, and roasted coffee bean flavors laced with supple tannins. This wine will age beautifully over the next 15 years.
