Went to a tasting and they were featuring Chalk Hill, winery now owned by Bill Foley, of Foley Family Wines, who continues the traditions that Fred Furth, who founded CH in 1972. Had this ‘16 about a year ago. Rich deep straw color with aromas of stone and tropical fruits and citrus notes. On the palate ripe apple, sweet melon and lemon flavors with gentle vanilla toasty oak. Well balanced on lingering finish ending with oak and mineral notes. Aged well. Tasting Sample. — 8 years ago

Orange zest, a touch of butterscotch, lovely funkiness. Deep golden/orange color, lots of sticky lilies and a very Italian character. — 10 years ago

A special treat from @Bill Bender ! White flowers on the nose, more of a chard profile mid with butter and a bit of oak. No sharp edges anywhere. Lovely just like the company — 7 years ago

Peppery, herbal, big. Reminds of a good non Rhône Syrah. Exiting wine. Should improve over the years. — 8 years ago

Good balanced, good aftertaste of this wine blow you away. Purple color reminds young Saperavi or liquid consistency in the glass, or gouache concentrate.
Small tannins, low acidic, becoming elder would be jam.
Grapes from Old vines and maceration applied. rye croutons, smoked salami in the nose. — 8 years ago

Rather dark pink. Herbs, red currant and some red gooseberry. Clean and good depth but lacking a bit focus. Hint of sweetnes on the end. — 9 years ago

Very drinkable. I spent a considerable time in Calabria near where this wine is produced. It is very typical for the region, soft but very flavorful. — 9 years ago
