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
Маракуйя, ананас, желтая слива, дрожжи, белый квас, компот из кураги, щавель, канцелярский клей, эстрагон, тонкая шипровая нота. Выраженная кислотность, чуть вяжущие танины. Обаятельно и прямолинейно, немного парфюмированно, легко пьётся, фактурно, но не очень сложно. — 7 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! — 7 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

A gorgeous bouquet of cranberry, strawberry and raspberry with just a tangy note of citrus. Crisp, juicy and soft on the palate. Tart flavors of red berries lead to soft acidity and a touch of minerality. The finish is long with just a touch of citrus and easy, balanced acidity. — 8 years ago
