The 2018 White Wine Old Vine Heinstein Vineyard, a field blend from a site in Sonoma Valley, is loaded with all of the flavor and textural complexity that California's heritage sites offer. Exotic, floral and light on its feet, the 2018 is pure class. This is one of the more refined editions I can remember tasting. -- Antonio Galloni

This site, planted in 1954, is a dry-farmed field blend of predominantly Riesling mixed with Sylvaner, Colombard, Gewurztraminer and Trousseau Gris, as well as a small portion of unidentified vines. The Heinstein vineyard was rescued by a small group of winemakers to prevent these old vines from being ripped up. Aromas of orange oil and honeysuckle give way to flavours of salted marcona almonds and lavender. Simultaneously both old-school and new-school California.
