Russian River ValleyRitchie Vineyard
This pedigreed site with old vines and gnarly trunks, coastal breezes and cool morning fog, has a signature soil profile: a convergence of the sandy soil of Green Valley, the gravelly soil of the Russian River bed, and volcanic tufa. This diverse soil and low-yielding mature vines translate into tremendous intensity and complexity in the grapes, a golden fruit flavor with underlying tension, freshness and vibrancy.
