Charles Heintz Chardonnay 2021
Description
Robert Parker: “...one of the great grand cru Chardonnay sites in California.”
"The Senses 2021 Charles Heintz Vineyard Chardonnay has notions of almond croissant, persimmons, and candied ginger tumbling from the glass, leading to a fragrant core of mandarin peel, lime blossoms, and juicy nectarines, plus a waft of butterscotch. The medium to full-bodied palate is an explosion of bright citrus and stone fruit fireworks, offset by fantastic tension and a satiny texture, finishing long and minerally. So good!" - 97pts, Lisa Perotti-Brown MW
