Charles Heintz Vineyard Chardonnay
Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Amici Cellars – Charles Heintz Vineyard – Chard – 2021
Sonoma Coast – Sonoma County – California, USA 🇺🇸
Overview
A powerful yet finely balanced single-vineyard Chardonnay from the iconic Charles Heintz Vineyard, one of Sonoma Coast’s most respected sites. This is a serious, expressive wine that showcases richness without excess, built on precision, texture, and depth.
Aromas & Flavors
Highly expressive with layered tropical fruit notes on both nose and palate. Ripe pineapple, mango, and baked pear lead, supported by subtle hints of toasted nuts and gentle spice. The fruit is generous but controlled, never tipping into heaviness.
Mouthfeel
Full-bodied with a creamy, polished texture driven by 100% barrel fermentation, native yeast, and full malolactic fermentation. The creaminess is well-balanced by structure and weight, delivering a long, smooth, and textured finish.
Food Pairings
Roast chicken, lobster with drawn butter, seared scallops, creamy pasta dishes, or aged alpine-style cheeses.
Verdict
A show-stopping Chardonnay that delivers complexity, power, and finesse in equal measure. Bold yet composed, this is a benchmark example of Sonoma Coast Chardonnay from a top-tier vineyard. Cheers!
Did You Know?
Charles Heintz Vineyard is renowned for its cool-climate influence and low-yielding vines, contributing to both concentration and natural acidity in wines sourced from the site.
🍷 Personal Pick Highlight
This is Chardonnay with presence. Rich, layered, and impeccably balanced, one of those bottles that reminds you why site and farming truly matter.
