Wine Review: This white gold colored Chardonnay opens with a fragrant and appealing floral bouquet with notes of mild pear and pineapple. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced and refined. The flavor profile is a Bosc pear and pineapple blend. I also detected hints of hazelnut. oak, mango and ginger ale. The finish is dry and its flavors and acidity show nice length. This Chardonnay is food friendly. I would pair it with a Zuni Cafe chicken. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Rich, silky and impeccably structured, this wine shows why the old-vine Chardonnay from Charles Heintz Vineyard is so coveted. Aromas of sweet peach, honey and orange blossom waft from the glass, hinting at this wine's depth and charm. On the palate, subtle notes of sweet vanilla and toasty oak underscore the lush fruit and add to a dramatic finish.
