Chalk Hill Chardonnay 2018 – A Substantial Chardonnay with a Gentle, Green-Fruit Character

Chalk Hill, Chardonnay 2018, Sonoma Coast, California, Wine Casual

Chalk Hill, Chardonnay 2018, Sonoma Coast, California

Tasting Note: A creamy, Sonoma-Coast chardonnay with a gentle, green-fruit character.

Medium-intensity lemon in color, this wine has a medium-intensity nose of golden apple, pear, and green plum with a hint of lemon-citrus zest.

On the palate the dry, full-bodied chardonnay has medium-plus-intensity flavors suggested on the nose along with hints of vanilla baking spice supported by medium-minus acidity and completing with a long finish.

The midpalate is creamy and the flavors are well-integrated.

A substantial chardonnay that begs to be paired with food.

See review of same vintage sampled last year.

Bottle Note: Chalk Hill is located in Healdsburg within Sonoma County. This wine is hand-crafted from select chardonnay vineyards throughout the Sonoma Coast growing region. Chalk Hill is dedicated to producing wines of distinction and elegance. The Sonoma Coast chardonnay offers a bright and balanced wine.
