Arista Winery Chardonnay, Ritchie Vineyard, Russian River Valley — 2018 – Vinous – 94 Points
94 points
A powerful, tightly wound wine, which is surprising for a year in which most wines are pretty open. Crushed rocks, mint, lemon confit and white pepper all open in the glass. The 2018 is translucent and yet t also packs a pretty huge punch of both fruit and structure.
