I always enjoy Mark’s Chardonnays but his Ritchie to me has always been one of my favorites. Just delicious

Delightful paired with risotto and shrimp.

Jan 29th, 2023Thank goodness for the instructions. Once had an Aubert pop n pour and it was just too tight and not expressive.
So…. This wine. Opened and decanted then back to the cellar at 55 for 3 hours and then served and drank over an hour.
Wow. Very distinctive California with great balance of fruit, oak, creaminess and soft acidity across the wine. Just a pure pleasure. This was balance. No real comparison to a site in white burgundy but right there from a quality perspective and elegance.

Excellent. Will be vastly better in 3-4 years...but excellent!
