Quite possibly the best wine I have ever had. I got a case of this and try a bottle every few months. When this wine comes up to temp, its amazing. Oddly enough I like it much better at room temp, than slightly chilled.
By far my favorite chard. Maybe porter bass this fall will exceed this, but for now, this is it.
I liked the Heintz when Brian and I tried it in April at the winery, but for my palate, I liked the Martin Ray just a little bit more. I’d buy both but the Heintz is sold out, although I think the Martin Ray is releasing in August.
Tasted a nice line up at the release pick up in April. The Heintz was not my #1 of the '11 chards - very acid/mineral driven (not a bad thing by any account!). The Peter Martin Ray and Porter Bass had beautiful texture and were sexier all around. Needless to say, I’ve already placed my order for each.
My wife would agree with you Matt. She finds the Ceritas Heintz a step too acid-driven and much prefers the Porter-Bass, which she’d drink 3 nights/week if she could!
