2021 Peirson Meyer Charles Heintz Vineyard Chardonnay – Sonoma Coast

A Masterpiece of Balance from Sonoma Coast’s Premier Vineyard
The 2021 Peirson Meyer Charles Heintz Vineyard Chardonnay is a captivating blend of elegance and boldness, crafted to delight both casual sippers and connoisseurs alike. Hailing from California’s renowned Sonoma Coast AVA, this limited-production wine showcases the unique terroir of its namesake vineyard through lush tropical flavors of mango and pineapple, complemented by bright citrus accents like tangerine zest and hints of orange blossom. Subtle notes of flinty minerality and toasted vanilla bean add depth, creating a multi-layered experience that lingers on the palate without heaviness—a testament to its seamless marriage of richness and finesse.

Why This Chardonnay Stands Out
Vinous Magazine’s 94-point rating underscores its exceptional quality: this wine dances effortlessly between opulent texture and vibrant acidity, making it an ideal companion for rich dishes or sipped solo as a statement pour. The crisp acidity cuts through creamy textures perfectly, ensuring it pairs seamlessly with seafood, poultry, or buttery pastas while maintaining approachability even at its full-bodied peak. Unlike many oaky Chardonnays, this bottling leans into its coastal freshness while still offering complexity from extended lees contact and judicious French oak aging—resulting in a silky mouthfeel that’s both indulgent and refreshing.

Aged to Perfection
Bottled after meticulous attention to detail in small batches (just 215 cases), this wine evolves gracefully over time in your cellar or glass. Whether enjoyed young for its lively fruit or aged for deeper mineral notes and integrated spice tones, its versatility makes it a standout addition to any collection or dinner table. At 14.2% alcohol by volume, it strikes a harmonious balance without overwhelming your palate—perfect for those seeking a sophisticated yet approachable white wine experience from California’s cooler coastal regions.
