Chalk Hill 2009 Clara’s Vineyard Red (Chalk Hill)

Country: US / Clara’s Vineyard
Variety: Red Blend California
Winery: Chalk Hill / Chalk Hill

This shows opulent blackberry and chocolate flavors that are delicious and heady. But it’s very high in alcohol, which gives it a burn and a glycerine-like sweetness. It’s a Bordeaux blend, with the addition of Syrah.
