This has a fluffy nose that is red fruit dominated along with strong butter and green bell pepper notes. Medium intensity and medium complexity. The tannins are a little gritty on the palate and the fruit is not quite coming through. Medium length #arnotroberts #cabernetsauvignon #chalkhill #sonoma #ctbucklinwine — 8 years ago
Picked up this Geezer at Albertsons tonight. The Chalk Hill AVA was established in 1983 and is located in the NE corner of the Russian River AVA. The 33 sq. mile AVA's Volcanic soils provide harsh but rewarding vintages. Drink it if you can find it! ~$24 | #chardonnay #chalkhill #rodneystrong
