2017 Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay

Pinot File
"Wonderful aromas of lemon, spice, caramel, toasty brioche, and botanical notes. Luscious and intensely flavored, offering delicious tastes of lemon meringue, pineapple, peach, melon, and a hint of caramel. A connoisseur’s Chardonnay that finishes long and intense." 95 Points.

“The 2017 Chardonnay Ritchie Vineyard comes from one of the top vineyards in the appellation and spent 11 months in barrel. Its medium gold color is followed by plenty of buttered orchard and tropical fruit as well as wine with medium to full body, a rounded, lush texture, a touch of oak, and a good finish. It's a rich, powerful wine that's loaded with fruit, yet it stays nicely balanced and pure. I'd be happy to drink a bottle anytime over the coming 3-4 years” 90 Points

2017 Ritchie Vineyard Horseshoe Block Chardonnay

Pinot File
"The nose is similar to the regular Ritchie bottling but not as much fruit ripeness. The aromatics really soar over time in the glass. Brighter than the regular Ritchie bottling with more cut on the long, dry finish. A delightful wine centered around white stone fruit flavors that has energy to spare." 96 Points

Vinous
“Light, green-tinged gold. A complex bouquet evokes fresh citrus and orchard fruits and white flowers, and hints of sweet butter and ginger emerge as the wine opens up. Juicy and focused on the palate, offering vibrant Meyer lemon, pear and buttered toast flavors that take on a nervy mineral accent on the back half. Concentrated yet lithe in character, finishing very long and spicy, with lingering citrus fruit character." 92 Points

2017 Jenkins Vineyard Pinot Noir

PinotFile
"Shy aromas of smoky black cherry lead to a middleweight wine offering tasty flavors of blue and purple berries. Nicely composed, with chewy tannins and a big finish when tasted the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle, the wine had opened up and the suave, melt-in-the-mouth texture was appealing as was the sweet blackberry finish. Excellent balance." 93-94 Points

2017 Earl Stephens Vineyard Pinot Noir

PinotFile
"Moderate garnet color in the glass. Aromas of dark cherry and berry, spice, and friendly oak. Seductive flavors of black fruits in a mid-weight plus style. When tasted the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle, the oak overlay had receded, and the stellar black raspberry finish was exquisite." 93-94 Points

2017 Soberanes Vineyard Pinot Noir

Pinot File
"An anomalous year for this wine in that it is very dark and concentrated. · Dark garnet color in the glass. Rich dark fruits perfuse the nose. Full-bodied in a Zinfandel style featuring an array of ripe dark fruits framed by healthy tannins and finishing with a flood of fruit. This is a wine for fruit hedonists only and quite atypical for Pinot Noir." 90-91 Points

2017 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

Pinot File
"Moderate garnet color in the glass. Very appealing aromas of darker red and purple fruits with hints of spice and white pepper. More concentrated than the Russian River Valley bottling, featuring a mid-weight array of blue and purple fruits along with a touch of oak and licorice. Nicely integrated tannins and some finishing persistence." 90 Points

2017 Three Perch Pinot Noir

Wine Advocate
“Medium to deep ruby-ruby purple, the 2017 Three Perch opens with turned earth and smoky spice over a core of blackberry, black cherry pie and blue fruit preserves. Medium to full-bodied with dense black fruits in the mouth, it has a firm, slightly chewy tannins, and a long, spiced finish.” 90 Points
