2002 Estate Vineyard Selection Chardonnay
Chalk Hill
The original Founder’s Block, planted in 1974, offers incredibly low yields of extremely concentrated fruit. By careful barrel-by-barrel selection, only eighteen barrels of the r ...moreichest, most opulent wine were chosen for this premier blend. Effusive stone fruit aromas of apricot and fig build on the floral, spice, and hazelnut notes. The wine unfolds with rich layers of golden apple, honeysuckle, nutmeg and mineral flavors— all adding texture and holding aloft clean, citrus notes that weave through to the lingering finish. The structure and firm acid balance indicates cellar worthiness.

2005 Chairman’s Club Cabernet Sauvignon/Carmenère
Sonoma County
Very limited in production, the 2005 Chairman’s Club Cabernet Sauvignon/Carmenère is a marriage of two Bordeaux varieties which captures Chalk Hill Estate’s unique personality ...more and terroir. The Carmenère is grown on a tiny, low vigor site with extremely rocky soils, perfect to harness its vigorous tendency. Hand-harvested at a mere one-half ton per acre, the Carmenère was co-fermented on skins with a low-yielding Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard. Deep, dark aromas of black plum and cassis accompany graphite and exotic asian spices. This age-worthy cuvee is opulent in texture, with blackberry fruit, black olive and tobacco flavors. The lingering finish is reminiscent of dark chocolate and mocha, pairing deliciously with roasted meat dishes and artisan cheeses.

2003 Furth
Sonoma County
Bold and rare - describes the wine and the man. Furth, the wine, is the pinnacle red wine from the Chalk Hill Estate; a wine that speaks in a booming voice of its terroir. Its big ...moreflavors are assembled from old-vine blocks of Bordeaux varietals that have the personality and panache to personify Fred Furth's vision of "the best that my home estate can produce."
Produced only in exceptional years, and in minute quantities, no expense is spared in its creation. Starting with intensive care in the vineyards- handcrafting in the winery, special cooperage, extended barrel age, even its sturdy, eponymous bottle- all are steps in the creative process designed to focus the fruit into a broad, expansive, weighty wine worthy of the name.

| Chappellet Vineyards |
2005 Signature Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley
The "Signature" Cabernet Sauvignon has been Chappellet's flagship wine for more than three decades. It is a benchmark for the long-lived hillside wines of the Napa Valley; full of ...morestructure and ageing potential, yet seductively forward in its concentrated varietal character. Collectors covet vintages from the 1970's, 1980's and 1990's, and the acclaimed 2000's uphold this enduring tradition.
Opening with expressive notes of blackberry, cherry and cassis, this wine is full-bodied and rich. Hints of chocolate and espresso layer with spicy oak for added complexity. Smooth tannins infused with ripe sweet fruit create a lush, supple texture. Rich waves of berry, spice and herbs create a lasting impression of finesse and structure in this Cabernet.

2003 Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot Blend "Miradero"
Sonoma Valley
With the release of this 2003 vintage, Miradero has evolved from the Merlot dominated model of the legendary 2001 (voted Best California Merlot-CA State Fair) to a more “Medoc” ...more style wine with a higher proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon. This classic Bordeaux blend combines the best of both old world and new. With a hefty 36% Merlot component, Miradero owes as much to the traditions and heritage of the Right Bank, such as St. Emilion, as it does to the more Cabernet-centric Left Bank but the rich black fruit and ripe, plush tannins speak of the climate and terroir of Sonoma.
The wine opens invitingly with a deep ruby color and aromas of summer blackberries with hints of vanillin and dark roasted espresso beans. Ample body in the mouth is supported by fine-grained, well integrated tannins while the flavors follow through with a dark fruit, black cherry and berry theme accented by notes of bittersweet cocoa and sweet spice and a long, lingering, harmonious finish.
While the fruit-forward ripeness and well-filled texture of this wine might lead to enjoyment this very evening, the richness and refined tannin structure would allow an additional 5-7 years of evolution in the

Pairs well with hearty seafood stews, rustic French bread and artisan cheeses, or mixed greens with Calamata olives.
