This wine is from United States, California region, Sonoma County sub-region and Chalk Hill appellation. At Chalk Hill, Merlot is as significant a wine as Cabernet Sauvignon: different in character, but profound, powerful, and every bit as extracted, structured and ageable as Cabernet. With a host of new clones of Merlot and other Bordeaux varieties reaching full maturity on the estate, the coincidence of a great vintage in 1999 was cause for excitement. Temperate, consistent weather provided substantial hang time for our Merlot, and the fruit ripened evenly and fully throughout all blocks, leading to a well-paced harvest during the first two weeks of October. The season also offered deliciously abundant crops of Malbec, which, with its dense color and plush middle tannins, is a gracious... Less
