Note di degustazione
The 2007 Chardonnay Heintz Vineyard reveals a slightly brighter light gold color as well as sensational aromatics of ripe peaches, apricots, honeysuckle, brioche, creme brulee, and caramelized citrus. Terrific acidity, gorgeous fruit, concentration, texture, and overall balance suggest a wine that will easily last a decade. This is a beauty. The single vineyard Pinot Noirs are made from a wide range of California vineyards, primarily in the north, with Russian River and Sonoma Coast dominating, but there is also an Anderson Valley site (Ferrington), San Benito site (Vista Verde), and Yorkville Highlands (Weir). The Chardonnays are nearly as powerful as the Zinfandels in terms of alcohol strength, ranging from 14.5% to 14.8%. Tel. (707) 433-6425; Fax (707) 433-6546

Chartreuse-tinged yellow. Smoky orchard fruits on the nose, with floral honey and smoky lees adding complexity. Completely coats the palate with deep peach pit, orchard fruit and mineral flavors. Ripe but dry, with excellent clarity and a strong smoke- and mineral-driven finish. This wine's power is something else.
