title: Bjornstad 2009 Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
description: Tight and nervous now, with edgy acidity. The oak is strong and unintegrated, while the apricot, orange and peach fruit stands by itself, primary and powerful. It's a fine, complex wine, but needs time. Give it three to four years in the cellar.
variety: Chardonnay
designation: Ritchie Vineyard
