‘13 vintage is in the sweet spot right now. Luscious, ripe peach, kettle corn, copper.

17 Château Boswell Ritchie Chardonnay
Dark straw in color. Full body beauty. Nose- of lemon drops, green apples. Palate- White peaches, apricot, fig, baked lemon pie, creamy rich texture that coats the palate. It’s got another 6/8 great years in it.

2 times in one week. I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Also knew that the GM at the Capital Grille would love a glass.

16’ Château Boswell Ritchie Chardonnay. Dark golden in color. Honey-apricot, white peach. Backside pineapple, floral notes. It is rich, full-bodied...oak well-concealed(NOPE)?!? Lingers for a good 30 seconds. Pop & pour. Cheers!
My favorite Chardonnay from this famous vineyard.

Unfiltered and golden in the glass. Rich and lush with plenty of oak and a nicely tart finish.

13' Château Boswell Ritchie Chardonnay. BOOM goes the dynamite! Russell Bevan has done it again with this full throttle Ritchie vineyard chard. Nectarine, caramel, honeysuckle, 2 x 4. Food pairing…Aubert Ritchie"more food friendly"🙃. Great bottle of wine by itself/salmon. 5 great years in it.

After having the Aubert Ritchie Chard this afternoon , we decided to try Chat Boswell's Ritchie Chard . Nose of all the stone fruits and a hint of oak . In mouth Toasty rich and cream and of course butter come into play. Wow! First time for me on this Great Chard! Very Impressive. We all agree!
