Distinctive Chardonnay has been growing on the vines at Ritchie Vineyard since 1972. Over these past 35 years, it has earned a reputation as a source for wine that will deliver expressions of rich, tropical fruit and very concentrated flavors. In assigning 91 points, Robert Parker Jr. highlighted an "extraordinary bouquet" that includes hints of orange blossoms and hazlenut.

Wine Advocate From an undeniably grand cru site, the elegant 2006 Chardonnay Ritchie Vineyard comes across like a Chablis, revealing notes of lemons, oranges, melons, citrus oil, wet stones, and white currants. With crisp acidity, a steely backbone, a striking minerality, and an elegant personality, it is a pure, deep Chardonnay to enjoy over the next 2-3 years. Score: 91. —Robert Parker, December 2007.
