Chalk Hill Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir (75cl, 14.2%)

A 100% Pinot Noir from Sonoma Coast, California, produced by Chalk Hill Estate Vineyards & Winery. Fruit is sourced from estate vineyards across Carneros, Russian River Valley, Sonoma Valley and Sonoma Coast, and the wine undergoes 100% malolactic fermentation. It ages for five months sur lie with monthly bâtonnage in 30% new French oak barrels. The nose shows roasted cherry, raspberry compote, cinnamon, vanilla, earthy mushroom, dried cranberry and leather. The palate is velvety and fruit-forward, with black cherry, crushed berry, dark chocolate, baking spice, cola spice and black tea, kept bright by lifted acidity.
