The palate is greeted by a blend of luscious orchard fruits and citrus zest, supported by a subtle creaminess from its expertly managed neutral oak fermentation. Layers of complexity emerge as flavors of honeyed pear, crème brûlée, and a touch of flint unfold gracefully, leading to a long, vibrant finish. This Chardonnay’s impeccable balance between richness and freshness makes it a true delight, embodying the essence of the renowned Ritchie Vineyard terroir in every sip. \n\u003ch2\u003eREVIEW\u003c\/h2\u003e\nRated 94, Jonathan Cristaldi, Decanter\n“Winemaker Matt Sands sourced Old Wente Clone Chardonnay from Blocks G and E of the famous Ritchie Vineyard in Sonoma’s Russian River Valley. A fresh squeeze of ripe lemon lifts out of the glass, accompanied by white flowers, pineapple rind and guava. The palate is incredibly plush and dense with Meyer lemon, apricot and coconut shavings; all kept fresh and lively by a deep mid-palate salinity and grip. Aged 18 months in 62% new French oak barrels.”\n\u003ch2\u003ePRESS REVIEW\u003c\/h2\u003e\nRated 94, Jonathan Cristaldi, Decanter\n“Winemaker Matt Sands sourced Old Wente Clone Chardonnay from Blocks G and E of the famous Ritchie Vineyard in Sonoma’s Russian River Valley.
