The wine is 100% clone 4 chardonnay, bottled on August 12th and aged 2 months in bottle before release. Heroine is a brighter and fresher example of Napa Chardonnay then people tend to expect. The goal for this wine was to make something subtle and refreshing while still producing a complex wine with remarkable flavor.
The inspiration behind the label other than Birk (Owner of Iconic Wines) being a giant nerd, is that the super hero comic is as a true American art form such as jazz or hip hop. Iconic wanted to make Californian wine that is in a style that all will enjoy but should be uniquely Californian. They also wanted the label to reflect that sentiment.
Birk O'Halloran was CoolVines first wine buyer, and currently works for the famed A.I. Selections owned by David Weitzenhoffer. The Iconic Wines project started August 2010 while Birk was on a trip to Sonoma for a wedding. While taking some extra time to visit friends he was given an opportunity to buy some grapes from Steve Matthiasson's vineyard "Michael Mara" and so Iconic was born.
Mid-Northern Sonoma's proximity to the coast, as well as the dense fogs that creep down hillsides, is the key to the region's favorable viticultural tendencies. Long a source for excellent Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the area in and surrounding the Russian River Valley benefit with long, ideal growing seasons, allowing the perfect balance in ripening the fruit.
