This luxurious and densely-packed Chardonnay from the legendary Ritchie Vineyard is bursting with flavor. Limited new release from Bevan Cellars.
A stunner each year. Compared to the richness of our new Bennett Valley Chardonnay, this Ritchie is magical, with a pixie dust verve and almost Meursault-inspired, live energy in the mouth. Green apple, pear, nectarine, minerals, lanolin and stunning acidity combine on the palate with an ethereal, refined, pinpoint finish that just won't stop.
Bevan Cellars Description
Sourced from the iconic Ritchie Vineyard—originally planted in 1972 in the heart of the Russian River Valley—this Chardonnay showcases a vibrant, leaner profile than our Bennett Valley expression. Bursting with fresh apple, citrus zest, and mouth-watering acidity, it delivers remarkable brightness on the palate. A unique aging approach in both oak and stainless steel imparts a rich, creamy texture while preserving its energetic character. This is an age-worthy Chardonnay crafted to elevate any meal.

Russell Bevan clearly has the Midas touch. What makes the 2021 Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay so unique is its textures. The mid-palate is round, luxurious, and pulls you in, but the tannins are so supple that you keep sipping it to experience them again and again.
Kent Ritchie's vineyard is widely recognized as one of the best Chardonnay vineyards in California. Coastal breezes and cool morning fog—combined with the unique soil profile of Goldridge, small pebbles and a layer of volcanic ash—allow this vineyard to showcase grapes of rare intensity and complexity.
