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.
