Product details

Bursting with perfumed white peach, roman chamomileand wildflower honey, the flirtatious 2018 Ritchie has a creamy and elegant presence on the nose. The palate is elevated and textured with both stone fruit and citrus rind followed by white flower and crèmebrûléenotes on the finish. There is a strength here but a lifted acidity as well, making the chardonnay a truly remarkable wine.

Farmed by proprietor Kent Ritchiesince 1972, thisvineyard produces wine of rare intensity and complexity. With old vines tucked into sloping benchlands that lead into the Russian River, the Ritchievineyard lies in the heartof the Russian River Valley appellation.Agreat balance of cooling ocean fog and slightly warmer inland temperatures produce wines with intense, natural aciditywithan extra richness and lushness. SandyGoldridgesoils combined with volcanic ash deposits provide great drainage while limiting vine vigorand yield.
