Tasting Note: An herbal sauvignon blanc with a classic Loire, sauvignon-blanc character.

Pale-intensity lemon in color, this wine has an aromatic, medium-plus-intensity nose of green apple, quince, dill, hay, lemon-citrus peel, herbs and blossom.

On the palate the dry, medium-plus-bodied sauvignon blanc has medium-plus-intensity flavors suggested on the nose supported by medium acidity and completing with a medium-plus finish.

The wine has a creamy texture, midpalate complexity and complimentary herbal notes that are reminiscent of old-world sauvignon blanc.

An excellent sauvignon blanc to pair with savory dishes.

See 2016 vintage review.

Bottle Note: Chalk Hill is located in the Chalk Hill appellation of the Russian River Valley. This wine is hand-crafted from grapes grown exclusively on the estate. Each variety is matched to specific site and mesoclimates; gentle winemaking practices capture the diversity of each vineyard block, resulting in wines of distinction and elegance. -Courtney Foley, Winemaker.
