This was out of 6L. Aged well. Peaches. Viognier like fruit. Waxy texture.

Nicely aged mag, gorgeous pure fruit with some tropical notes, butterscotch in background, acid still in check...winner..

What a Friday group tasting put on by Dan! Killer wines. 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 5 reds, 1 dessert. All blind.

As soon as I smelt this, my guess was a young Charles Heintz Vineyard Chardonnay. It always has such a tropical nose, dominant of guava and papaya...so different from other west coast Chardonnays. I ended up guessing the vineyard correct ✔️.

Pretty tropical and oaked nose. Pineapple, Mango, key lime. Round, textural midpalate but finishes bright and clean.

No finesse or balance here. Maybe a touch of botrytis. Super alcoholic and ripe. #chardonnay

So delicious. Coconut, lime, pineapple, green apple, butterscotch. Sounds like a weird mix of flavors? But it works so well
