The spring season brings bud break and a flourishing culinary garden at Chalk Hill Estate Vineyards & Winery! Chef Alec Graham brings this season to life with fresh farm-to-table dishes that pair nicely with our estate wines.
The fresh wild mushrooms from our thriving estate gardens make a perfect addition to any spring appetizer. One of our favorites is Chef Alec's rich, Wild Mushroom Tartine with Triple Crème Brie. The earthy tones in mushrooms highlight the silky palate and ripe tannins of our Chalk Hill Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir and Mt. Eden Pinot Noir.

2018 Chalk Hill Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
Expressive aromas of black cherry and plum backed by subtle notes of mocha and vanilla. Medium-bodied with bright acidity and juicy flavors characteristic of this cool-climate region. A fruit-forward, approachable and elegant wine that should be enjoyed upon release.
