Description

Blend: 100% Chardonnay
Vintage production: 213 cases

Arista’s expression of the Ritchie Vineyard is made all the more exciting as Matt Courtney is renowned for his 10 year tenure at Marcassin – arguably California’s most illustrious Chardonnay producer – where he had a hand in multiple 100 point scoring wines.

First planted in 1972 on the sandy Goldridge soils of the Russian River Valley, the Ritchie Vineyard is regarded as one of Sonoma’s ‘Grand Cru’ sites. The complex terroir of ancient seabed, volcanic ash deposits and pockets of tufa rocks combine to create a unique vineyard that produces wines of intensity and great natural acidity.

Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

Jeb Dunnuck 97

The 2019 Chardonnay Ritchie Vineyard is savory with fresh pine, lemon, and crushed stone. Its great concentration and full-bodied richness give way to a stony finish with notes of orange oil, pineapple, and spice. Drink it over the next 15 or more years. [02/08/2022]

Anticipated maturity: 2022-2038

2020 O’Shaughnessy, Chardonnay, Oakville 1x75cl

VM93
Blend: 100% Chardonnay Production: 377 cases The O'Shaughnessy Oakville a wine that's often been described as an a-typical Napa Chardonnay, edging to the more steely, energetic end of the spectrum.... Winemaker Saen Capiaux achieves this by blocking malolactic fermentation, and using just 26% new French Oak during élevage. He builds depth and texture through a combination of a very special selection of four Chardonnay clones in the vineyard, with gentle lees stirring in the winery.

2018 Dragonette, Duvarita Vineyard Chardonnay, Santa Barbara County 12x75cl

JD94
Blend: 100% Chardonnay Vintage Production: 145 cases The Duvarita Vineyard is in the far west of the region, sitting literally metres outside of the Sta. Rita Hills AVA boundary, and it is one of... the most sought after vineyards. The steep slopes sit on a combination of ancient sand dunes and sandstone, producing wines of characteristic depth and intensity. Dragonette's Chardonnay comes from the highest blocks, more influenced by the cooling Pacific fog and full of stone fruit and a crisp minerality, and we love the extra dimension on the palate that comes from lees contact. For some summer-dining inspiration, the regional seafood specialties are the famous local halibut and sea bass, either (or both!) of which are perfect with a glass of Duvarita Chardonnay.

Blend: 100% Chardonnay Vintage production: 150 cases MAXEM is all about precision, ultra-focused winemaking, and celebrating the finest terroir of the Sonoma Coast at the hands of winemaker Sam... Kaplan. The wines are elegant, pure, remarkably balanced wines loaded with tension and energy, that have knocked us off our seats every time we've tasted them. They're as close in class to the Grand Crus of Burgundy we've ever experienced in California, while maintaining their unmistakable Sonoma DNA. The U.V. Vineyard is six miles from the Pacific Ocean and contains a unique mix of sand and clay – the “Sebastopol Clays.” With a large proportion of the Wente heritage clone of Chardonnay planted, it is a highly prized site for the few wineries granted access.

2018 Dragonette, Rita’s Crown Vineyard Chardonnay, Sta. Rita Hills 12x75cl

JD94VM94
Blend: 100% Chardonnay Vintage Production: 220 cases One of the producers at the forefront of Sta. Rita's Hills' success is Dragonette Cellars. Winemaker Brandon Sparks-Gills, and brothers Steve and... John Dragonette, select the region's elite vineyards to make Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays of utter refinement and distinction. Rita’s Crown vineyard is located at one of the highest points in the Sta. Rita Hills, adjacent to such famous sites as Mt Carmel and Sea Smoke. The soils are a mix of sandy and clay loams with a good amount of diatomaceous earth. Dragonette's Chardonnay comes from two parcels: block 16, (clone 76) lies at 800-950 feet on a steep, west-southwest facing hillside above the monastery, and block 12 (clone 95), a steep south facing hillside just below and to the west. These higher elevation blocks are exposed to fog and clouds most mornings and high winds most afternoons, cooling the vineyard. The climate and the low vigour soils produce a small canopy, small yields and a long, slow growing season. The wines here typically show beautiful, ripe tropical fruit flavours, balanced by remarkable acidity and strong notes of chalky minerals.
