Vintage:
Despite a warm February, the 2018 growing season started off cooler than the past few vintages. A cool spring meant
bloom lasted longer than usual, but the fruit set was consistent and near-perfect leading to large grape clusters. There were
a couple small weather events during the set, but most Russian River and Sonoma Coast vineyards were not affected.
Summer temperatures were moderate with fewer heat spikes than in recent years.
Tasting Notes:
The 2018 Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay is a complex and luxurious wine with inviting notes of stone fruit and lemon curd
on the nose and warm oak undertones that create a richness on the palate. The uplifting acid on the finish creates a wine
that has great length and longevity. Ritchie Vineyard continues to produce some of the most spectacular Chardonnay in the
world.
