This 750 ml blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Sangiovese brings together ripe dark-fruit character — think cassis and blackberry — with warm baking spice, a measured oak presence and balanced tannins. The wine sits comfortably in Sonoma County’s nuanced climate, where Chalk Hill’s volcanic-influenced soils lend both ripeness and a thread of mineral tension. On the palate, The Tillerman is approachable on release yet structured enough to pair with hearty foods: grilled or roasted red meats, steaks, rich pastas and aged hard cheeses are natural companions. Crafted as an estate red blend, The Tillerman emphasizes harmony between varietals. Cabernet Sauvignon contributes core structure and dark fruit depth; Cabernet Franc adds aromatic lift and spice; Merlot softens the midpalate; while Sangiovese brings an invigorating acid line and a touch of red-berry lift. The oak is present but not domineering — it frames rather than smothers — delivering vanilla and toast notes that sit behind the fruit and integrated tannins. This is a versatile Sonoma bottle for both weeknight splurges and dinner-party service, offering immediate drinkability with the ability to develop further complexity over several years. For collectors who appreciate focused, estate-driven blends from Chalk Hill, The Tillerman offers quality and provenance in a classic 750 ml format.\u003c!-- TABS --\u003e\u003c!-- \/TABS --\u003e","brand":"Hook \u0026 Ladder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43227659632676,"sku":"WB30339754","price":19.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1997\/1819\/files\/HOOK_LADDER-2022-THETILLERMAN_TILLERMANREDBLEND_-750ML.png?v=1770063632","url":"https:\/\/finding.wine\/products\/hook-ladder-the-tillerman-tillerman-red-blend-750-ml-2022-wb","provider":"finding.wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
