This wine really developed with some time in the cellar. I wish I had more for sure! Nice light notes of vanilla and caramel to go with the zingy acidity. Very nice. Nothing was overdone on this wine.

Over-oaked, over-rich, lacking lightness and complexity.

Lean, wonderfully restrained style. Pear, citrus, a touch of lemongrass, some toasty oak flavors in the background but definitely a grace note rather than dominating. Tasted side by side with Charles Heinz from Littoral, which I loved, but preferred the LaRue.

A lean style with citrus and pear notes and a tight acidity that is mouth watering. The oak was very well hidden. My personal taste would've liked a touch more toasty oak and vanilla. Note, I said a touch.

It's a somewhat well-kept secret that Katy Wilson is making superb Pinots. Here Chards have been perhaps even more of a secret..so I'd like to announce to the world that she makes fabulous Chardonnay too! Her 2014 Charles Heintz Vineyard is beautiful...balanced and reminiscent more of a Burgundy than a typical CA Chardonnay.
