Mission Codename Chalk it up

The Chalk Hill Estate Winery is a unique winery that makes, well, incredible wines. The vineyards that span the estate span several microclimates. This, due to the varied terrain. What does it mean for the farming and for the grapes? Well, it certainly makes growing and tending a lot more difficult. The winery pulls it off though, as evidenced by today’s wine.

Today’s Chalk Hill Estate Winery 2011 Estate Red blend gets the best grapes from the winery’s estate vineyard blocks, making it a truly masterful blend.

If you are looking for an elegant, food-fantastic wine that happens to be an incredible steal, you’ve found it. And don’t worry, we won’t tell your friends that you didn’t pay the $70 price tag.
