Heitz Cellar Napa Valley Chardonnay

Heitz Cellar's 2016 Napa Valley Chardonnay exemplifies the California style: a medium-full bodied white with pronounced stone fruit character, balanced by medium-high acidity and subtle minerality. Ripe peach and apricot dominate the primary layer, supported by citrus zest and green apple notes. Oak aging contributes butter, vanilla, and toast complexity without overwhelming the fruit. A refined, food-friendly Chardonnay suited to fine dining and special occasions.
