For over 50 years Chalk Hill Winery has been at the forefront of Sonoma wines. Their Windy Ridge Sauvignon Blanc is a testament to the Chalk Hill AVA. Harvested from a single block and using clone 378, this offers soft passion fruit, lemon-lime citrus, light resin, honeydew melon, apricot and quince. It also offers a solid minerality throughout the wine. Shying away from the more grassy iterations, this feels like an “adult” Sauvignon Blanc, more restrained and complementary to a diversity of foods. Aged seven months in French, Oak, just 18% of that was new wood, so the oak is very restrained and the bright crisp fruit remains. 250 cases. ORIGIN: Sonoma County. ALCOHOL: 14.5%
