Chalk Hill
Estate Bottled Chalk Hill Chardonnay
Chalk Hill, Sonoma County, California, USA
Unfiltered, creamy pale yellow. A full Malolactic approach is well balanced by acidic ripeness. A bit oaky, but a profile I liked.

The oak is a bit more integrated now (2015 vintage) but still prominent - if that’s not your thang I’d avoid

Purchased not long ago by Bill Foley of Foley Family Wines, who will continue traditions that Fred Furth began in 1972. 2015 was a perfect year for Chard. Aromas of tropical fruits, spice and citrus. On the palate melon & apricot, tad creamy with some citrus zest and toasty oak notes. Smooth and lingering, well balanced, nice acidity, ending with fruit and spicy oak. A Fav! Good value!

Oak bomby! Tough to come to after the Ridge :-) acids not super balanced. Buttered popcorn, classic CA Chardonnay - can’t blame it for being itself.

Buttered popcorn, toasted oak. Too much glycerin. Meh

Very buttery, initial nose was very pungent but it settled after a few. Deeper yellow color. Not my cup of tea.

2012 - Pleasant bouquet, medium light body and light white pepper finish.

Sonoma Chardonnay w/ noise of lemon and orange blossoms. Flavors of tropical fruit and hits of spice full body. My Northern California run
