The Chalk Hill appellation in Sonoma County was named after the famous winery that put that tiny and utterly gorgeous slice of wine heaven on the map - some of our team visited during the rainy season and the sun came out shining on Chalk Hill! Today we have the stunning 2020 Hook & Ladder Los Amigos Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon which is a delicious and complex Cab from a single vineyard in that normally sunny haven, produced by the founders of the famous DeLoach Winery.
Powerfully built with a core of vivid blackberry and plush black cherry fruits layered over hints of forest berry and currants, this wine is framed with a silky-textured and perfectly accented kiss of toasted vanilla oak and pops of tobacco and cedar in waves as this eye-opening Cabernet glides across the palate. Juicy and vibrant with hints of strawberry and summer Bing cherries, cocoa nibs, and a hint of wild sage that brings to mind the rugged rolling hillsides that mark this vineyard, this wonderfully priced steal makes for a delicious ride for the senses that open and evolve with every swirl of the glass. This wine is for any fan of California Cabernet to snap up pronto!! Chalk Hill is one TINY appellation but this Cabernet brings as much elegance and complexity as you could possibly pack into a bottle.
