The 2016 Chardonnay Ritchie Vineyard comes from one of the top terroirs in the Russian River, and Andy has been working with two parcels from this vineyard since 2001. David Ramey and Mark Aubert also source fruit from these same parcels. This crazy good effort is a match for a Grand Cru White Burgundy and has a reductive, complex, layered style as well as sensational minerality, spice, white flowers, and orchard fruits. Jeb Dunnuck The 2016 Chardonnay Chloe Ritchie Vineyard is laced with hints of orchard fruit, mint, white pepper and wet rocks. One of the more pointed, brilliant wines in the range, the 2016 is going to need at least a few years in bottle to be at its very best. There is certainly plenty to look forward to. Vinous Coming from the Ritchie vineyard in Russian River Valley, the 2016 Chardonnay Chloe opens with tropical scents of pineapple and guava plus hints of honeydew melon, allspice and acacia honey. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with bold exotic fruit flavors packaged in a seductively oily texture, delivering just enough freshness and a long spicy finish. Wine Advocate |
