WTN: In The Heintz

2012 Ultramarine Blanc de Noirs Heintz Vineyard Sonoma Coast - USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast (3/2/2019)
Right off the bat the aromatics were striking and gorgeous. Fresh pear, apple and light toast, complimented by lemon zest kept me going back to the glass, just to smell the wine. I expected a more evolved palate, but it showed quite racy, with most of the expected richness reserved for the finish. Fun to drink now, but likely still has a good bit of runway. I will hold my last bottle for several more years just to see where it goes.

Interesting. Sounds much more impressive than the two I've had so far, both '13's.

Love the subject title.

In 2013 the Blanc de Blancs is the wine. It’s way above the Blanc de Noirs. I am not a big fan of the 2013 BdN.
