2007 Chalk Hill Syrah

The Global Wine Co. Zacherle, a remarkable Syrah from the esteemed Chalk Hill region, exemplifies the essence of this varietal with its deep, vibrant red hue. This 2007 vintage boasts a medium-bodied structure, offering a beautifully balanced experience on the palate. Its acidity is bright and lively, accentuating the rich flavors of dark fruits like blackberry and plum, complemented by elegant notes of spice and earthy undertones. The tannins provide a firm but not overwhelming foundation, creating a harmonious mouthfeel that invites further sips. As a dry wine, it pairs exceptionally well with grilled meats, making it a versatile choice for culinary adventures. This bottle is an excellent representation of the Chalk Hill terroir, showcasing the depth and character that can be achieved in this unique winemaking region.

Chalk Hill

This sub-AVA in Sonoma's Russian River Valley sits on the western slopes of the Mayacamas Range. While the daily Pacific fogs that characterize the Russian River also blow through Chalk Hill, its wines differ. This is partly due to the ashy, quartzite-rich volcanic soils that give the region its name, and partly due to the slightly warmer climate. With vineyards planted on the valley floor as well as the soaring slopes, local winemakers have had success with a range of red and white grapes. Look out for intense Bordeaux blends, crisp Sauvignon Blanc and bold Sangiovese "Cal Italians."
