Score 95/100 · Drink 2024-2034, Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate, Jun 2023

Unlike the fruit-forward 2020, the 2019 Chardonnay Ritchie Vineyard still needs time to unwind. The nose is reminiscent of matchstick to begin, but with air, it gives way to perfumed white peach, chamomile and beeswax. Satiny, seamless and long, the medium-bodied palate offers a crescendo of fragrant stone fruit and flinty sparks and a youthful touch of grip on the finish.

The 2019 Chardonnay Ritchie Vineyard is savory with fresh pine, lemon, and crushed stone. Its great concentration and full-bodied richness give way to a stony finish with notes of orange oil, pineapple, and spice. Drink it over the next 15 or more years.

The 2019 Chardonnay Ritchie Vineyard offers up an enticing mélange of white flowers, orchard fruit, mint and sage, along with light tropical inflections that add an exotic flair. Layered and exquisite in its beauty, the 2019 is the highlight in this flight of Chardonnays from Arista.
