What to Expect

Chardonnay is America's most popular grape and with good reason. Made in styles that range from steely, mineral laced wines with crisp green apple fruit to wines that are buttery, rich, and laden with tropical fruits, there is a Chardonnay that will appeal to every palate. Chardonnay is most closely associated with France's Burgundy region and California's Northern valleys though it has proven successful around the globe.

Winemakers Notes

Also north of the Carneros Highway, but further west, the terrain here is more rolling than that of Hyde, the soil lighter and more friable. This year’s bottling is the first to come entirely from B-block, planted in 2001 to a Wente selection from the Hyde Vineyard, so the vines were seven years old this vintage and just coming into their maturity. Hudson Vineyard wines tend to a more muscular, masculine character—broad-shouldered, if you will.

RP: A stunning effort... well-delineated, with outstanding acidity as well as a layered, sumptuous finish.

Vinfolio

Rating: 93/100 - As reviewed by Vinfolio The Ramey designates all come from special sites regarded in the industry as being of the highest quality. All whole cluster pressed, fermented with native yeast and undergoing a full malolactic secondary fermentation, the designated wines receive about 70% new oak and are aged sur lie prior to being bottled unfiltered. Shows an alluring nose of honey anise and chalky mineral. The palate has rich hazelnut, Meyer lemon and elegant toast notes balanced by fine acidity. Shows a long harmonious finish. Drink 2007 - 2015.
