The 2019 Chardonnay Charles Heintz Vineyard comes from a great vineyard within site of the Pacific Ocean. It has a touch of botrytis in its honeyed lemon, melon, and floral aromatics and is medium to full-bodied, sweetly fruited, and balanced on the palate. A singular, unique expression of Chardonnay, it brings plenty of fruit while staying vibrant and bright on the palate. Coming all from 30+-year-old clone 4 Chardonnay vines with full malolactic fermentation and 13 months in 40% new French oak, it should keep for 7-8 years.
