Dumol Charles Heintz Vineyard Isobel Chardonnay 2023 750 ML
Our new release 2023 Charles Heintz Vineyard Isobel is a sort of distilled essence
of this iconic old vineyard. High in elevation and close to the Pacific coast, there’s a
clarity and precision to the light and air up there on the Occidental ridgeline—not
to mention a big sky aura—no wonder we’ve sourced here for over twenty-five years.
And so, here we have one of our finest ever efforts in this long run, a wine that
perfectly combines intense botanical coastal characters with the oily citrussy depth
the vines naturally produce. The wine shimmers and shines, just like the place itself.
The wine’s swirling aromas weave between chamomile, lime, sea spray, and wet
stone — they're grassy and fresh but with an underlying concentration. The palate is
tangy, oily, and deep, with flavors akin to lemongrass, lemon sherbet, and kiwi. Deep
viscous layers develop as the wine expands but are then cut by precise tense acidity
that allows the finish to sail on. Drink between 2025 and 2035.
