  July 7, 2022 - On the list at Norda in Göteborg. Popped and poured; served at cellar temperature. At this stage the 2014 Charles Heintz Vineyard is vinous, appearing a deep golden color with lovely aromas of desiccated stone fruits, nuts, squishy tropical fruit and some baking spices. On the palate, the aforementioned notes are confirmed and accompanied by a lovely, remarkably creamy texture. This is a rich Chardonnay however there is a good spine of acid that helps to proved a long, dry finish. Drink now.

  March 11, 2021 - PnP. Light greenish gold. Rather shy nose of citrus and orchard fruits, pear especially. Medium body but with a sneaky intensity on the finish where the orchard fruits are dominant. I think this is very young and will develop more complexity with another 5 years in the bottle. Balance is spot on as is typical.
