Winemaker Notes
The 2013 Sauvignon Blanc heads toward the tropical end of the sensory spectrum, featuring aromas and flavors of melon, passion fruit, nectarine and lime. The finish is long and vibrant with bright acidity and a creamy texture. This Sauvignon Blanc is a very versatile food partner, pairing with anything from salads and vegetables to fish and pasta. It also works well with a comfy chair in the backyard on a nice afternoon!
Blend: 84% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Sauvignon Gris, 6% Sauvignon Musque

Wilfred Wong of Wine.com
Wild and zany, only a handful of us wine crazy folks have ever experienced this level of quality in a California Sauvignon Blanc and here it is right in front of us. From the Chalk Hill AVA of Sonoma County, the 2013 Chalk Hill Sauvignon Blanc shows us that this overlooked varietal can rise up and stand out in a crowd. Simply stated this is a super fine wine. Medium straw in color, shows wild aromas of dried citrus and lemon curd, some mineral and earth chipped in for good measure; medium bodied, zippy and bright on the palate; dry, fine acidity, well balanced; steely flavors, with mineral and more soft citrus notes; crisp and frisky in the aftertaste. Perfect with unadorned shellfish. (Tasted: January 15, 2016, San Francisco, CA)

Perhaps no other winery captures the casual luxury of Sonoma County better than Chalk Hill Estate. Founded nearly four decades ago, this spectacular 1300-acre property features 300 acres of vineyards, wilderness areas, winery, hospitality center, culinary garden, residence, stables, equestrian pavilion, sports fields, fishing and swimming ponds, and guest houses.
The winery's vineyards are thoughtfully woven through the native foliage and contoured to fit the intricate terrain. More than two-thirds of the Chalk Hill Estate remains uncultivated. The higher elevations offer stunning views of the Russian River Valley to the west and the Mayacamas Mountains to the east.
