title: Bjornstad 2007 Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
description: Dramatically rich and ripe, a bells and whistles Chardonnay made in the white Burgundy style. It's flamboyant in pineapple, nectarine, guava and oak- and lees-influenced buttered toast, cream and vanilla crème brûlée, but it's also very acidic and dry, which provides balance and elegance. Fine now and for 3 or 4 years.
variety: Chardonnay
designation: Ritchie Vineyard
