Sad to see my last bottle go, but it is nice to go out on top!

2013 Ultramarine Blanc de Blancs Heintz Vineyard Sonoma Coast - USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast (4/22/2019)
Easily the best showing yet for me for an Ultramarine wine and I’ve been on board since the beginning. There’s a tart green apple, tropical fruit, and stoney essence to this wine that is like a fine Chablis. Fresh, small bead, energetic and edgy in all the right spots. Still youthful. It shows fruit, but isn’t overtly sweet, so nicely balanced with yeasty flavors and an acidic spine. Really lingers on the palate. It develops a creaminess as it warms, though it never fully rounds out. Would like to see how this would do served blind on a table alongside vintage Champagnes. Methinks it would fare well.
