Description
Ridge first produced Chardonnay in 1962, though originally these wines were only available at the winery. Fortunately for Chardonnay lovers the world over, Ridge could not keep this gem a secret for long. The 2012 vintage earned ratings of 92 points from both Zoltan Szabo and Julian Hitner of winealign.com, and you can expect the 2013 to deliver the same elegance, polish, balance and refinement that so impressed them. Enjoy this tonight with grilled seafood dishes or let it evolve for another 5+ years.

Tasting Notes
Bold, with wonderful intensity, this white features a core of peach, pineapple and toasted spice notes that show overtones of salted butterscotch. The body is buttery and smooth, with a hint of white flowers and Honeycrisp apple on the finish, while a touch of beeswax and nutmeg lingers. Drink now through 2030. Score - 94.
