Robbie Meyer is a Rockstar winemaker. Robbie has spent over 25 years living in Napa, making wine for top producers such as Peter Michael and Lewis. Back in 2001 Robbie was enjoying a bottle of wine with Alan Peirson the former vineyard manager for Peter Michael. Together, they brainstormed the idea of joining forces to create their own label. With a little help from their wives, they came up with a name and logo for their brand by sketching it on a cocktail napkin. That fall in 2001, Peirson Meyer was born!

Winemaker Notes: Our 2021 Charles Heintz Chardonnay straddles the fence between elegance and power with complexity and depth on the palate. Layered notes of orange blossom, tangerine rind, vanilla bean, and flinty minerality add to the delightful texture on the palate. The Heintz is framed by a beautiful beam of acidity that makes it a superb food wine. In the glass and in the cellar our Charles Heintz Chardonnay evolves beautifully with time.

Charles Heintz Vineyard: The Charles Heintz Vineyard rests at 900 feet above sea level and is nine miles from the Sonoma Coast. The vineyard experiences cool maritime influences from the Pacific Ocean, yet it receives less cloud cover than our Russian River vineyard. While the vines are of equal age, this vineyard is planted in Goldridge soils, trained on a quadrilateral cordon system.

The 2021 Chardonnay Charles Heintz Vineyard has layered scents of apricot, citrus blossoms, clover honey, bread dough and river stone. The light-bodied palate offers deeply concentrated citrus and mineral-driven fruit and bright acidity, resulting in a shimmery feel and an ethereal finish. It will benefit from 2-3+ years in bottle.
