Description
Ideal Goldridge soil, healthy, mature vines, warm days balanced with cool nights and a grower who has been working the land since 1982 all contribute to Robert Parker’s assessment of the vineyard as “...one of the great grand cru Chardonnay sites in California.”
"Honeyed orange, caramelized pineapple, and apricot fruits as well as lots of spice define the Charles Heintz. Medium to full-bodied, it has a rounded, exotic, yet balanced personality, good acidity, and a great finish. It's one of the more exotic, ripe wines in the lineup and has loads to love." - 95pts, Jeb Dunnuck
