Great bottle. What I’ve come to expect from Aubert. That creaminess and citrus and just balance. Nice. Crowd pleaser. Drank next to the ‘09 Larry Hyde and Sons and the Hyde showed more Burgundian notes. I preferred the Hyde but the Ritchie more of a crowd pleaser.

Big and rich as you'd expect from Aubert but everything delivered in a balanced package.

Wow, a very fine expression of CA Chardonnay. Lots of apple, pear, peach and buttery aromas. Full-flavored and a perfect compliment with rich buttery seafood.

2009 Aubert Ritchie Chardonnay- quite nice, maybe a bit past its prime but hopefully will open up a bit more. #napa #chardonnay #cult #wine
