Calluna Vineyards Cuvee, Chalk Hill 2019
$32.99
Critical Acclaim: 93 pts John Gilman. 91 pts Wine Spectator
About the Wine: The 2018 Calluna Vineyards Cuvée is meant to be an expression of our Chalk Hill appellation where great sunlight and a cool climate produces intense fruit in a wine with balancing acidity, round tannins and moderate alcohol levels. The blend expresses the power of Cabernet Sauvignon, elegance of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, and a bit of showiness from Malbec and Petit Verdot.
Tasting Notes: "The wine delivers a beautifully refined aromatic constellation of cassis, black cherries, cigar wrapper, a complex base of soil, a touch of currant leaf and a discreet foundation of new wood. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, focused and quite elegant in profile, with a lovely core of fruit, excellent balance and grip, ripe tannins and a long, complex and very classy finish."- John Gilman, View from the Cellar.
"Tightly focused and slightly taut, with red and black currant flavors that are accented by tobacco and mineral notes as this builds tension toward firm tannins. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Malbec."- Wine Spectator.
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot.
