Who knew a Ridge Chardonnay could age so well...2010 shows such great depth and layers...virtual tasting with Ridge, tasted the 2018, 2017 and 2010. This score is for the 2010, one of the best New World Chardonnay’s I have tasted.

Sneak peak at a wine that will be released this fall. There won't be much available, but seek it out. It is well worth it.
