92-94 points Robert Parker: "Even better is the 2009 Chardonnay Ritchie Vineyard. Revealing notes of pineapples, white currants, creme brulee and citrus oil, a cool climate backbone of good acidity, full body and excellent richness, it should drink nicely for 5-6 years." (02/11) 93 points Wine Spectator: "Charming for its delicacy and finesse, this full-bodied, smooth, rich and elegant white delivers fresh, lively notes of white peach, nectarine, honeysuckle and honeydew melon, gaining depth and lingering. Drink now through 2017." (06/11) 93 points Stephen Tanzer: "Vivid gold. Spicy vanillin oak complements aromas of pineapple, nectarine and honey. Supple and ripe but dry, with a strong mineral component firming the exotic fruit and honeysuckle flavors. A densely packed but graceful midweight that finishes with solid grip, a touch of smokiness and excellent persistence. Offers an uncanny blend of power and vivacity." (May/June 2011)
