Rich, powerful and full-bodied, this is marked by thick Syrah-like road tar, graphite, dried currant, sage and herbal flavors that are concentrated and reflective of a cool climate for Cabernet. Drink now through 2016.
From the Winery:
At Chalk Hill, Cabernet Sauvignon wine growing is a composition of diverse microclimates, distinct clones, hillside terrains and sunny exposures. During the growing season, we work with every individual vine by hand, coercing the clusters to reach optimum ripeness to fully express their unique terroir. Hands-off and gentle best describe our winemaking practices. We guide the wine from grape to bottle naturally through native yeast fermentations, gravity flow wine movements, minimal rackings and bottling without fining or filtration. The grapes determine the wine and the wine is the true representation of Chalk Hill Esate. The 2005 growing season was long and slow, allowing intricate flavors to develop in our red grape vineyards. 8% Malbec, 4% Merlot and 3% Petit verdot highlight this varietal Cabernet, adding aromatic lift, complexity, and intrigue to the nose and palate. Aromas of cassis, autumn leaves, graphite and mocha prelude a palate laced with bramble berries, earth, roasted espresso beans, tar and black spices. Its youthful yet integrated tannin structure makes this wine worthy of aging 5 to 10 years.
