Our 2018 Estate Red opens with bold and intense aromas of black cherry, anise, tobacco leaf, leather and dark chocolate. The palate is rich and savory with layers of vanilla, spice, dark fruit and black tea. Dense and supple, the tannins are rounded by a balanced acidity and a long and smooth finish. Though appealing in its youth, this wine will also age beautifully over the next 15 years.

The 2021 vintage is the first release of our GSM – a classic Rhône style red wine blended from Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The wine presents itself in a deep brick and ruby red color in the glass and reveals an assortment of aromas such as raspberry, strawberry, leather, baking spice, and white pepper. A layered mid-palate led by bold red fruit flavors and medium astringency is complemented with bright acidity and satin-smooth tannins.

The 2018 Cherryblock is a wine of great complexity, intricacy and sophistication. In the glass, the wine is deep purple with ruby highlights, and offers intense, concentrated aromas of cassis, tobacco and graphite. Flavors of black cherry fruit wash over the palate, with complex layers of cacao, cedar and tobacco. Full soft tannins complete the profile with lingering notes of herbs and spice. This wine is drinking well in its youth, but will improve over the next 10+ years.

A dark garnet-brick color is displayed in the glass, and is met with an intricacy of Bing cherry, vanilla, red plum, and forest floor aromas.

A luscious and structured mid-palate is characterized by grippy tannins and balanced acidity, leading to a pleasantly long finish.

The 2019 Brut sparkling opens with aromas of golden delicious apple, pear, and brioche. On the palate, fine mousse is accompanied by a smooth richness and velvety bubbles. Flavors of apple compote, pear, hazelnut and hints of walnut linger on the finish.

of blackberry, plum and white pepper. Notes of black cherry and peppery spice mingle
seamlessly on the mid-palate with chewy tannins and vibrant acidity.

Garnet-colored, the 2021 Rosé opens with strawberry and cherry aromas. On the palate, the bright red fruit flavors continue, joined by tender vanilla from barrel aging.

The 2015 Merus is a singularly delicious bottle of wine. Deep dark fruit aromas lure you into the glass. There's a hint of something akin to dark chocolate and cocoa before it opens up to reveal classic black currant and berry syrup aromas. The tannin, acid, and alcohol are in such balance that wine feels sweet, though it is bone dry. A hint of vanilla imparted by the French oak aging lingers on the finish. Decant for one hour to bring forth maximum aromatics and complexity.

The Chenin Blanc captures both the terroir and the long history of Chalone Vineyard. The 2022 vintage displays a golden-hued straw color in the glass and uncovers aromas of honey, green pear, and chamomile. The palate possesses a full-bodied viscous texture, brimming with notes of Golden Delicious apple and honeydew melon. This wine is dry and crisp with bright acidity that persists throughout the fresh and lively finish.
