2016 Peirson Meyer Chardonnay

VIN91 The 2016 Chardonnay Charles Heintz Vineyard is another inviting wine in this range from Peirson Meyer. Oily and unctuous on the palate, as these wines tend to be, the Charles Heintz is built on textural richness and creaminess. Pineapple, mint, butter and a kiss of French oak develop with time in the glass.
Winemaker Notes: With marvelous depth and complexity, the 2016 Heintz straddles the fence between elegance and power. Layered notes of orange blossom, tangerine, vanilla, and flinty minerality add to the delightful texture on the palate. The Heintz is framed by a beautiful beam of acidity that makes it a superb food wine. In the glass and in the cellar our Charles Heintz Chardonnay evolves beautifully with time. 350 cases produced.
