2011 Aubert Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay

The 2011 Aubert Ritchie Chardonnay 750 ml is from the Sonoma Coast region of California. Mark Aubert makes truly wonderful Chardonnay. All of his labels have unique attributes, but they are all magnificent. Robert Parker recently proclaimed, "Mark Aubert is one of the contenders for California’s finest practitioner of Burgundian-styled, yet classic, California Chardonnays. His offerings are all made like grand cru Burgundies with full malolactic, the use of French oak and lees stirring, but the purity of fruit, the textural dimensions, and the stunning singularity of these Chardonnays can only be matched by a handful of other Chardonnay producers in the world. He’s that good…He is clearly at the pinnacle of his profession. Kudos! –Robert Parker, Jr., The Wine Advocate, Issue 216, Dec 2014
