2014 Gary Farrell Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay Russian River Valley

(96 Points  --   Wine Enthusiast)

Dark gold in color, this is a memorably luxurious and vivacious wine, tangy in grapefruit, burnt orange and cardamom. Layered and complex, it evolves as it opens to a lingering tease of butterscotch topped in nutmeg. It is an outstanding vision of an outstanding site, a wine for the ages. — Virginie Boone   Issue Date 6-1-2017
