WINE DESCRIPTION

The grapes for this wine are sourced from the Ritchie Vineyard, which is located in the Sonoma Coast appellation. The vineyard is known for its cool climate and well-draining soils, which impart unique flavors and aromas to the wine. The winemaking process involves minimal intervention, with the wine being aged in French oak barrels for a year. The resulting wine is a beautifully balanced Chardonnay with notes of citrus, apple, and pear, complemented by a subtle hint of oak. It is a perfect representation of the classic California Chardonnay style.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Red Car Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay is a bold and complex wine, with layers of citrus and stone fruit aromas that lead to an intense and balanced palate.The full-bodied wine offers ripe pear and apple flavors, along with subtle hints of butterscotch, hazelnut, and spice. Aromas of honey and toast linger on the finish. This is a delightful Chardonnay that will age gracefully for years to come.
