Chalk Hill Red Wine Sonoma County

Chalk Hill Red Wine Sonoma County is a 750mL red blend — the 2016 vintage of Chalk Hill's Sonoma County red wine, the estate's white-label bottling (distinct from the black-label Estate Red). The distributor's winery-supplied vinification text for this wine records a warm, dry 2016 summer, a September–October harvest, and barrel fermentation with 12 months in French and American oak, 20% new. No blend percentages or ABV are stated for this listing: the published sources for the blend directly conflict, and no official ABV was found — the bottle's label governs both. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

The White Label From a 1,300-Acre Estate

Chalk Hill's estate runs to roughly 1,300 acres in north-eastern Sonoma County — about 300 of them vines, the rest wilderness, winery and hospitality grounds — farmed for four decades by matching varieties to its microclimates and soils. The Sonoma County Red Wine is the estate's generous, fruit-forward bottling from that land: the winery began the line with the 2015 vintage and the 2016 followed it.

Tasting Notes

From the winery notes carried by the authorised distributor and Wine.com for this wine: an inky dark purple pour; cherry pie, molasses and clove aromas with subtle toasty oak; rich cherry, dark berry fruit, plum and spice flavours with depth and concentration; soft tannins and a lingering sweet vanilla oak finish.

How to Enjoy

Serve at cool room temperature with a short rest in the glass. Its rich, fruit-forward frame suits barbecue, burgers, lasagne and other weeknight-weight dishes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the Chalk Hill Estate Red? No — the Estate Red is the separate black-label estate flagship. This is the Sonoma County Red Wine, the estate's white-label bottling; the two are routinely conflated, including in older copy for this very listing.

What is in the blend? The published sources conflict (the authorised distributor's record is Syrah-led; Wine.com's is Cabernet-led), so no blend is claimed here until a label or winery check settles it.

How strong is it? No official ABV was found for this wine — check the label on the bottle in hand.
