2009 Heintz Vineyard Chardonnay

The attractive bouquet of ripe peaches and nectarines, pineapple, nutmeg and roasted vanilla beans dominate the nose in the glass. The rich mouthfeel and flavors of peach cobbler, guava, citrus blossom and crème brûlée linger on the palate. There is a creaminess or custard-like texture to this wine that is severed by the tangy acidity and flavors of fresh tropical fruits. An exceptionally multifaceted wine that typifies the characteristics of a cooler area in the Russian River Valley.
