Chalk Hill is a terrific appellation for Merlot, the climate is cooler and well suited for earlier ripening Merlot. Lot 356 is sourced from an ultra-premium producer and really, that’s all I can say about that. What I can tell you is winemakers Sam and Mike got in a whole load of trouble for blending in some of our best (and priciest) hillside Napa Cabernet to flesh out this blend. At $20 this wine offers incredible value for near-term enjoyment and outstanding cellaring potential.
