Chalk Hill Pinot Noir 2023

Sonoma Coast, California

Wine Spectator 91 points! James Suckling 92 points!

Perhaps no other winery captures the casual luxury of Sonoma County better than Chalk Hill Estate. Founded in 1972, this spectacular 1,300-acre property features 300 acres of vineyards, wilderness areas, winery, hospitality center, organic culinary garden, residence, and equestrian pavilion. The winery’s vineyards are thoughtfully woven through the native foliage and contoured to fit the intricate terrain. More than two-thirds of the Chalk Hill Estate remains uncultivated. The higher elevations offer stunning views of the Russian River Valley to the west and the Mayacamas Mountains to the east.

Chalk Hill Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is fruit-forward, expressive and elegant. Dark ruby in color, it displays aromas of black cherry and plum backed by subtle notes of mocha and vanilla. The palate is bright and full of cherry cola fruit with vanilla and oak undertones. It finishes with velvety soft tannins and lingering notes of cherry.

“A stylish red, with blood orange and raspberry notes that show a gently mulled edge but still keep a fresh and focused feel through the finish, which is infused with potpourri and rooibos tea.”—Wine Spectator 91 points!

“Very fresh, fruity and spicy, balanced toward the rich side, with a good, full body and a mouth-filling texture. Pine boughs, cinnamon, forest floor and good length on the finish. Light tannins and moderate acidity keep it slightly tangy.”—James Suckling 92 points!

Enjoy Chalk Hill Pinot Noir with grilled salmon, pan roasted pork loin, mushroom dishes, and cheddar.
