95 Points Wine Spectator: "A stunning white wine, with plenty of power and balance to the mix of details, including lemon curd, Fuji apple, mandarin orange and a hint of ripe Crenshaw melon. Offers accents of white tea, fresh clipped herbs and creamy salted butter that are seamlessly integrated with firm acidity. Drink now through 2030."
98 Points Wine Enthusiast: "From older plantings on a wide-spaced site - one the producer has worked with for some time - this wine is complicated and wild, combining rich, elegant flavors of salty sea breeze with ginger and lemon puree. Seamless and supple, it has a backbone of structure and lively acidity that pair effortlessly with the apple and pear."
95+ Points Robert Parker: "The 2021 Chardonnay Ritchie Vineyard, which can be bold and hedonistic in warmer vintages, is more reminiscent of Chablis. It has transparent aromas of lemon curd, chalk and crème fraîche. The light-bodied palate features concentrated citrus and stone fruit tempered by chalky character. It has a softly creamy texture foiled by a firm spine of acidity and boasts a very long, detailed finish. It will be long lived in the cellar. 455 cases were made."
