2007 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay

Landmark Heintz Chardonnay from the 2007 vintage is a stunning expression of the Sonoma Coast terroir. This well-crafted white wine showcases a full-bodied character that envelops the palate with luxurious textures. The bright acidity lends a vivaciousness that beautifully balances the richness, making it both refreshing and inviting. With pronounced fruit intensity, this Chardonnay reveals layers of ripe stone fruit and citrus notes, complemented by delicate hints of oak and vanilla from aging. The wine is bone-dry, ensuring a crisp and clean finish that encourages another sip, making it a delightful companion for seafood dishes or creamy pasta.

Sonoma Coast

Stretching along California's raw and rugged northern shores—and reaching quite far inland—Sonoma Coast is the largest AVA in Sonoma County. The proximity to the ocean makes wines here very different from those from more central AVAs. Whether the vineyards are on high ridges above the fog line or warm, fog-shrouded valley floors, the marine soils, low temperatures and cool Pacific breezes slow the ripening of the grapes. The result? Highly structured, delicate wines with plenty of acidity. The main stars here are white peach-tinged Chardonnay and wild strawberry-flavored Pinot Noir, but you will also find some excellent cool-climate Syrah with notes of white pepper and cherry.
