The 2013 Chardonnay Ritchie Vineyard stands out in this range for its striking aromatics. Sweet floral notes open up first. The Ritchie is just as subtle and nuanced on the palate. Classy and polished throughout, the Ritchie is all about finesse. It should drink well for the better part of the next decade. Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

Higher toned, bright and citrus notes and plenty of length.

Has the ripe fruits of a Ritchie vineyard chard- green apple, pear, citrus- with a saline/iodine/hot rock note for interest. Lively acid zing and a long, memorable finish. Best at cellar temp.

Apple, lemon, honey, buttery oak, limestone and a hint of salinity. Good acidity and balance.

2013 vintage has soft oak with subtle spices. Excellent fruit (pear, apple, lemon curd) and acidity to balance the full-body.

One of my most favorite chards out there. Well balanced structure with notes of vanilla and hazelnuts. I had this with Chilean sea bass and I thoroughly enjoyed.

One of my favorite Chardonnays. Very crisp and refreshing, still with a hint of oakyness.
