TASTING NOTES
CHESSMAN CABERNET
This wine is a rich and full style of Cabernet from the heralded hills of Central Coast’s Paso Robles. This wine possesses a burst of pure Black Cassis and fat and luxurious texture with a soft but firm finish. This is an alluring Cabernet Sauvignon for drinking with dinner or on its own.
CHESSMAN CHARDONNAY
Medium pale straw in color, very bright. The nose is primarily citrus, pear and vanilla oak. A pleasant burst of tropical fruit on the palate, pineapple, pear, citrus, melon. Juicy and lush, mouthfilling.
CHESSMAN MERLOT
Deep ruby red in the glass. The nose has hints of mint, dried cranberry and cedar smoke. Firm tannins frame the body of dark cherry, cola and cassis with a hint of bramble. A strong full expression of Merlot with a variety of dark fruits and a long full cedar and smoke finish. It’s full body and ample tannins will also allow extended cellar aging.
CHESSMAN PINOT NOIR
A medium bodied pinot noir with a wide array of flavors. The Chessman Pinot Noir shows a beautiful dark ruby color as well as fat, luscious, vanilla and red cherry aromas. This wine is round and plush, with lovely fruit, and bright acidity to freshen up the long finish.
CHESSMAN ZINFANDEL
Medium dark ruby in color with an enticing clarity. The Chessman Vineyards Lodi Zinfandel has a perfumed nose of spicy raspberry, black cherry, smoky oak including slight anise, pepper and blackberry. Medium tannins bring focus to the middle body. Robust berry flavors with a smooth finish.
