This is wonderful. It has the typical Heintz tropical notes of pineapple and passion fruit but it has the restraint to pull it off without being heavy. A lot of 2015 Chardonnays from California seem “chunky” to me but this does not. Firm and structured for sure, but balanced as well. I think this is terrific now but I think it has the stature to age for a few years.

I forgot how much I love Ceritas Chardonnays. There is a crispness that is offset by a creaminess. Citrus, almonds, lead to a salty finish. Delicious with my creamy chicken and rice soup.

Mature and really singing. Perhaps aging is the key for this vineyard, at least for me?
