From vines planted in 1983 on Goldridge loam at 800 feet in elevation, the 2019 Chardonnay Charles Heintz Vineyard begins with appealing flinty tones, opening slowly to baked quince, orange blossom, marzipan, beeswax and candle smoke aromas. The medium-bodied palate strikes an excellent balance between a broad, satiny texture and tangy, energetic acidity, and it finishes with extraordinary length. 349 cases were made.
