2012 is a classic Heintz Chardonnay through and through. Fresh pineapple, star fruit and guava mingle with Fuji and yellow apple notes. A wave of stone fruits give way to lively citrus notes and meld into aromas of baking spices. The Heintz Ranch is located high above the Russian River Valley near the town of Occidental and is planted in the prized Goldridge Sandy Loam soil. Grapes grown in this type of soil often have a distinctive soil-inflected chalkiness. The rich and creamy mouthfeel is accentuated by a soft minerality and mouthwatering finish.
