Peirson Meyer Description
Winemaker Notes: The 2012 Chardonnay from the Charles Heintz Vineyard is a great vintage with gorgeous expressions of fresh apricot, orange blossoms and marmalade. The mineral expressions are incredible. From flint to oiled metal, the mineral and fruit notes seem to continually combine and change in the glass offering endless possibilities. What makes this vintage particularly attractive with the Heintz, is the restraint it shows on the palate. Not overdone, the palate is clean and focused with ample weight but maintaining an elegance on the finish.
Charles Heintz Vineyard: The Charles Heintz Vineyard rests at approximately 900 feet above sea level and is nine miles from the Sonoma Coast. The vineyard experiences cool maritime influences from the Pacific Ocean, yet it receives less cloud cover than our Russian River vineyard. While the vines are of equal age, this vineyard is planted in Goldridge soils, trained on a quadrilateral cordon system. The vines are harvested in two separate picks: initially, the sun-side of the canopy is harvested, followed by patient waiting for the shade-side to fully mature
