We’re massive followers of Chalk Hill round these elements, and with good purpose: It’s one of many extra partaking and constant vineyards within the Sonoma area. However don’t simply take my phrase for it: Chris has been shouting about their greatness for years now, most not too long ago with its 2020 Property Sauvignon Blanc. At present we welcome the most recent installment of our ongoing protection: a 100% Syrah, 100% estate-grown and housed in roughly 70% new French oak. The nostril presents a really sturdy and energetic introduction, with notes of allspice and blueberry evolving into clove and darkish chocolate with some air. The palate is equally indulgent with toasted oak and fruit sweetness in concord with each other, and a contact of oak on the prolonged end. It’s completely able to drink now and stands as one other crowd-pleaser.
