Tasting Notes The Amici Charles Heintz Vineyard Chardonnay is a complex and intense wine that showcases the best of the Chardonnay grape. Aromas of lime zest, chalk, and honey excite the nose. On the palate, the wine’s racing acidity is balanced by a creamy mouthfeel with hints of cinnamon stick and crème brûlée. Juicy pear flavors add depth and balance to the wine’s intensity, creating a full- bodied Chardonnay with beautiful acidity that lingers throughout the finish.

The Story
Called “one of the great Grand Cru Chardonnay sites in California” by Robert Parker, the Charles Heintz Vineyard sits upon a ridgetop along the rocky Sonoma County coastline. The 20- year-old vines, planted on desirable Gold Ridge Sandy Loam topsoil, ripen slowly, cooled each evening by the fog that rolls in from the nearby Pacific Ocean. This slow, even ripening process results in beautifully balanced wines with fully developed flavors and fresh acidity. The vineyard site has been in the Heintz family for over 100 years, and since its planting in 1982 has become a name synonymous with the best of California Chardonnay.
