Red Car Chardonnay Ritchie Vineyard 2012
This prodigious Chardonnay shows classic notes of Meyer lemon, hazelnut, toasted almonds and spring flowers. The texture is divine, allowing the ripe citrus, apricot and minerality to glide along seamlessly to a long, forward finish. Enjoy over the next 5 years.
