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%.
