Chalk Hill, Red Wine 2016, Sonoma County, California

Tasting Note: A red blend that has heft, body and delightful midpalate complexity and that would pair with a range of dishes.

Deep-intensity purple in color, this wine has an aromatic nose of black plum, raspberry and blackberry puree, red currant and blossom.

On the palate the dry, full-bodied red blend delivers flavors suggested on the nose along with hints of cedar ultimately completing with a medium-plus finish.

The wine has velvety, ripe, medium-plus tannin and is medium in acidity.

There is balance between the fruit and tannin structure.

A red blend worth notice.
