Baton 2007 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay,
Heintz Vineyard
This wine hails from what Robert Parker calls “one of the great gran cru Chardonnay sites in California.” The old vines, planted 32+ years ago on Goldridge soils, sit 1,000 feet above sea level just miles from the rugged Sonoma Coast. Perched above the fog line on most days, the site receives a mix of sunshine and cool ocean air that lengthens the growing season and provides ideal conditions for the grapes to develop complex flavors while retaining a wonderful natural acidity. Only 314 cases produced.
Wine Notes:
Elegant, silky and rich best describe this 2007 vintage. Aromas of white flower, vanilla, apple crisp, honeyed-pineapple. Vibrant natural acidity and minerality with flavors of mango, pineapple and hazelnuts. Great energy, length and a lingering finish
Best served cool (not too cold), between 58 – 62 degrees F. For aging, cellar the wine, at approximately 55 degrees F. We recommend you drink it over the next 3 – 6 years. Excellent with grilled chicken, salmon, calamari, abalone, oysters or lobster.
