Wow... so much eucalyptus, everywhere in this wine. This guy is ready to go, and absolutely delicious out of a mag. Believe this was a Foley production in 2000. — 6 years ago

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. — 7 years ago

Robert Foley is a mad little genius making this little bad boy. Silly, but with depth. This one makes the right bank blush. — 8 years ago

Really big full Pinot in a detonate Cali style. Lacks some acidity and clocks in at 14.5% so not a great food friendly wine but makes a great cocktail. Cheers. — 9 years ago

Recently purchased by Bill Foley of Foley Family Wines, continuing traditions of Fred Furth who founded Chalk Hill in 1972, which encompasses 280 acres of vineyards. A blend of 84% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Sauvignon Gris and 6% Sauvignon Musque, the latter 2 adding an interesting dynamic to the wine and distinctive aromas. One of the few SB's to see some oak giving this wine complexity. Peach, herb and earthy tones, well balanced with acidity, smooth yet robust on a lingering finish ending with citrus notes. — 8 years ago

Classic Bob Foley style with tons of vanilla (warm waffle cones).
Not particularly my own preferred style but this is a solid made wine that should find plenty of fans in the "big & bold camp". — 9 years ago

A full bodied Pinot Noir from the Santa Rita Hills. Beautiful deep garnet color in the glass. Very aromatic with notes of raspberry, blackberry and spice. Great tastes of blackberry, raspberry and cinnamon backed by solid tannins and a nice acidic backbone. — 9 years ago

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! — 6 years ago

Not shy at 15.4% and very "Foley-esque" with tons of creamy vanilla on the nose and palate.
Firmly believing that there's no right or wrong in winemaking (or appreciation) to me it is all about individual preferences. Liking this a lot I'm wondering if it could have been even better with a different approach paired to the colder 2006 growing season?
In a great spot now (11/2015).
