Chalk Hill Estate

Each vine has a story to tell - visual clues as to the varying soil depth, amount of nutrients available, and energy stored in it for next year's crop. We look, listen, and take the time to prune accordingly in guiding each individual vine on its quest for the perfect balance of grapes and greenery.
-Mark Lingenfelder, Vice President, Vineyard Operations

Chalk Hill's location, between the cool Russian River appellation, and the warm Alexander Valley, places it in the perfect location to take advantage of the benefits afforded both. The diversity of the Chalk Hill topography creates a broad spectrum of different sites across which can be planted both red and white varieties. The lower, cooler sites are perfect for Chardonnay while the steeper, warmer, south-facing slopes are superbly suited to ripen Bordeaux varietals.
