Bevan Cellars 2018 Chardonnay “Ritchie Vineyard” Russian River Valley

Winery Notes: “Our Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay is a powerhouse. while we love to drink our Cabernets Sauvignons and red wine blends young, we have always enjoyed our chardonnays with some maturity. Of course, they are yummy when they are young, but they just have so much intensity that they shine even brighter with a little age. With this vintage we have crafted a wine that will draw a crowd, tomorrow and for years to come. Opulent, dynamic, it pulses key lime, pineapple and a kiss of stone fruit. This wine pulls no punches..”

Winemaker Notes: “The nose is pure Chardonnay with a beautiful campfire, roasted marshmallow accent that is absolutely irresistible. The fabulous natural acidity credited to the 2018 vintage gives this wine all of the energy that you look for in a powerful Chardonnay and also provides an amazingly long and lingering finish. Apple blossom and orange flowers lead the aromatic charge with tangerine and Key Lime on their tail. Never over the top, bursting with personality, this is a bottle of love.”
