Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
The Ritchie Vineyard has been sourced from for 15 years. In 2014, the vines were over 40 years old, but showed no signs of slowing down. Please note the greenish hue on the edge of the glass, which is indicative of the health of the wine. Vibrant notes of tangerine oil, fresh Meyer lemon juice, and green apple overflow from the glass. Mineral tones bring energetic qualities to the wine and abound with crushed rocks. With a healthy combination of rich textures and healthy acidity, this wine will age for the next 10 to 15 years. The wine has a slight hazy clarity showing commitment to minimal intervention winemaking.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The old vines certainly show well in the 2014 Chardonnay Ritchie, with an almost Alsatian-like petrol nose that is starting to come on. This wine that is full-bodied, with incredible ripeness, purity and overall equilibrium, offers up plenty of tropical fruit and citrus, white peach and pineapple. The wine should drink well for at least another decade.

Wine Spectator
A gorgeous mouthful, rich and layered, with honey-scented fig, apricot, honeydew, nutmeg, hazelnut and floral spice flavors, delivered in a powerful yet graceful manner.

Mark Aubert’s Sonoma Coast vineyard-designate Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs have risen in popularity at a dizzying speed. Aubert’s career in winemaking began in 1989 at Peter Michael under the tutelage of Helen Turley, which led to his time at Colgin, Sloan, Futo and then Bryant Family, before founding Aubert Wines with his wife Teresa in 1999. His wines express the essence of singular terroirs with an effortless grace. Mark crafts the wines of Aubert to speak to a variety of wine lovers with one thing in common – selective palates that expect nothing but the best.
