Tasting notes
The 2019 Chardonnay Heintz Vineyard offers exuberant spices on the nose with a core of lush, floral-laced peach fruit. Medium-bodied and satiny, the palate is dynamic, expanding from a precise mineral beginning to a broad, open, toasty finish. It's uplifted and pure and hints at more to come with time in bottle. 425 cases produced.

All seven of the Williams Selyem whites I tasted for this report were thin, watery and lacking in vineyard signatures.
About the producer
Williams Selyem is an iconic Russian River Valley winery best known for its Pinot Noir. Producing restrained yet classically Californian expressions of the heartbreak grape (as well as a host of other wines), the property has gone from pioneer to one of the region’s standard-bearers.
