The Story
Charles Heintz is one of the Sonoma Coast's legendary old vineyards, a high, fog-swept ridgetop site, and Ceritas turns its Chardonnay into a wine of remarkable purity and precision. This is John Raytek at his most terroir-transparent: cool-climate energy, vivid acidity, and a long mineral spine rather than oak and weight. A young, tightly wound vintage that will reward decanting now or short cellaring. Made in very small, allocated quantities.
