I always enjoy Mark’s Chardonnays but his Ritchie to me has always been one of my favorites. Just delicious

Thank goodness for the instructions. Once had an Aubert pop n pour and it was just too tight and not expressive.

So…. This wine. Opened and decanted then back to the cellar at 55 for 3 hours and then served and drank over an hour.

Wow. Very distinctive California with great balance of fruit, oak, creaminess and soft acidity across the wine. Just a pure pleasure. This was balance. No real comparison to a site in white burgundy but right there from a quality perspective and elegance.

Richer and riper than I typically like but I can’t deny how well put together it is. A little hedonism now and then is a good thing.
