The 2022 Chalk Hill Cabernet Sauvignon reflects the rugged character of this hillside Sonoma County appellation. Known for producing Cabernet with structure and depth, Chalk Hill’s warm days and cooling evening influences shape wines that balance concentrated fruit with savory complexity and firm, age-worthy structure.
Deep ruby in the glass, this Cabernet Sauvignon opens with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and dark cherry accented by hints of sage, graphite, and cedar. The palate is structured and layered, with dark fruit flavors supported by firm, finely textured tannins and a subtle mineral edge characteristic of Chalk Hill’s volcanic soils. Notes of cocoa, espresso, and dried herbs emerge through the mid-palate, adding depth and complexity. The finish is long and composed, with lingering dark fruit and savory undertones that speak to the wine’s balance and hillside origin.
