The Heintz Vineyard, owners of Dutch Bill Creek wines, is a venerable source of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the true Sonoma Coast for a who’s who list of wineries that make a “Heintz Vineyard” designate. Wineries like: Flowers, Littorai, Williams Selyem, Radio Coteau, Peay Vineyards, and other top-tier producers. What’s immediately clear in their estate-grown 2012 Dutch Bill Creek Pinot Noir is the purity of fruit flavor. This is Pinot Noir grown by masters. Red-fruited, translucent, woodsy aromatics highlight this gorgeous bottle of Pinot Noir - especially when you consider the low price of the wine. The complexity resides in the aromas. That clear edged garnet fruit doesn’t look intense, but wait until you smell it.
