Score 93/100 · Drink 2016-2021, Robert Parker, Dec 2015

The 2013 Chardonnay Malena, which comes from relatively old vines of the old Wente clone planted in Sonoma’s Ritchie Vineyard, is a beauty. Loads of lemon custard, orange rind, white peach and a touch of honeysuckle as well as wet rocks are all present in this full-bodied, rich, powerful Chardonnay that tips the scales at 14.5% alcohol. Drink it over the next 5-7 years.

The 2013 Chardonnay Malena Ritchie Vineyard is bright and nicely focused throughout, with quite a bit more energy than the 2012. Lemon oil, white flowers, apricot pit and white peach are all nicely delineated in the glass in this refreshing Sonoma Chardonnay.
