Peirson Meyer Chardonnay Sonoma Coast Heintz 2010
The new 2010 Heintz Chardonnay sizzles with class and purity. Spectacularly energetic, it delivers a well-focused fruit profile that suggest top-tier Burgundy rather than rustic Sonoma Coast. Ripe tropical fruit is cradled with hints of white peach, pear, white flowers and crushed rock. These expand into delightful nectarine and apricot on the finish. Truly a marvelous wine.
Peirson Meyer Chardonnay Sonoma Coast Heintz 2010 Winery
"In 2005 the Peirson Meyer label was created, a companion to the original brand L'Angevin. The Peirson Meyer label is named after the two founding families of L'Angevin. As part owner and winemaker for L'Angevin and Peirson Meyer Wines, Robbie Meyer's interest in wine began at an early age while working with food and wine in his native city of Marietta, Georgia. It was his love of food and wine that brought him to study winemaking in California. His studies in plant sciences and chemistry were a great match for his graduate work at the University of California, Davis where he received his Master's Degree in Enology." (peirsonmeyer.com)
