Charles Heintz Swan Selection Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2016
A Coastal Symphony of Flavor and Tradition
Nestled high above the Sonoma Coast, the Charles Heintz Vineyard tells a story of family, terroir, and exceptional winemaking. Established in 1912 and cradled by ancient redwoods, this legendary vineyard produces a Pinot Noir that is nothing short of a sensory masterpiece.
Terroir: Where Nature Crafts Perfection Perched at 1,000 feet, just six miles from the Bodega Bay coastline, the vineyard is a testament to the magic of cool-climate viticulture. Sandy loam soils and a microclimate defined by foggy evenings and sun-drenched days create the perfect canvas for an extraordinary wine.
Sensory Exploration:
Appearance: A translucent ruby core that gives way to delicate garnet edges, hinting at the wine's refined character.
Aroma: Briary cherry blossoms intertwine with complex brown spices, creating an inviting and intricate bouquet that promises depth and complexity.
Palate: An exquisite balance of creamy texture and vibrant flavor:
- Candied cherry fruit takes center stage
- Chinese five-spice and powdered licorice add sophisticated layers
- Earthy undertones of mushrooms emerge midpalate
- Mouthwatering acidity provides precision and elegance
Drinking Window: At its peak 2024 through 2026
A wine that captures the essence of its extraordinary origin—a true reflection of the Sonoma Coast's remarkable winemaking potential.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is all your inventory online?
We try to keep the store as updated as possible, but we always get new shipments. So if you don't see what you are looking for, send an email, and we'll check to see what Moose is hiding in the back room.
Why is beer available as in-store pick-up only?
Our temperature-controlled storage systems preserve beer's quality and flavor until pickup. By maintaining precise refrigeration, we protect each batch's unique characteristics and ensure customers receive the freshest possible product.
However, due to the challenges of maintaining consistent temperature during shipping, we exclusively offer in-store pickup for our craft beers.
What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
