The richest of the Red Car Chardonnays, the Ritchie offers notes of warm almond, beeswax and sea salt with a floral lift. On the palate it delivers mouth-watering acidity, nice breadth, and an ultra-long finish. With a reductive style, this wine wants air to open. (ECB)

The 2012 Chardonnay Ritchie Vineyard is one of the more subtle wines readers will taste from this iconic Sonoma Coast site. Smoke, butter, brioche, pastry and lightly honeyed notes wrap around the succulent, expressive finish. Gently spiced notes add complexity on the finish.
