Chris Hamilton Cellars Red Blend 2023
A nose of fresh black cherries, dusty raspberries, cocoa powder, lilacs, and cool minerals lead into unctuous layers of warm cassis, black raspberries, and currant. The mid-palate is dense and expressive, full of fresh berries and exotic spices, all leading to a soft and plush finish.
Chris Hamilton Cellars was founded in 2021 when Chris and Heidi Hamilton partnered with Eddie Gilbert who has been well established in Napa Valley since 2010. Eddie originally worked as a chef and then held executive level positions at Bounty Hunter Rare Wine & Spirits and North Berkeley Imports. He is now the winery’s managing partner and responsible for all day-to-day operations, sales, marketing, and coordinating with winemaker Sarah Donley.
