The 1999 Chardonnay Charles Heintz Vineyard offers aromas of citrus oil, orange, pineapple, and minerals. From a vineyard planted in fertile Gold Ridge soils, in a cool coastal area, emerges this rich, creamy-textured, medium to full-bodied, beautifully pure as well as long wine. It should open slowly and drink well for 4-5 years. Virtually all of Littorai's wines, save those sold at restaurants, are purchased via a mailing list. (Release date spring, 2001) Tel.
