Ramey Rochioli Vineyard Chardonnay 2018 - 100 pts Wine Enthusiast / 94+ pts Wine Advocate “This wine is a testament to an outstanding site in the hands of an outstanding producer. It is a celebration of fresh Meyer lemon and Gravenstein apple woven against an elegant structure and quenching acidity.” - WE
“The 2018 Chardonnay Rochioli Vineyard is youthfully wound with soft white peach scents and touches of hazelnuts, flowers and crushed shell. The palate is racy and mineral driven to begin, opening to a soft, generously perfumed finish. Give it another couple of years in bottle. 905 cases produced.” - WA
Ramey Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay 2018 - 100 pts Wine Enthusiast / 95 pts Wine Spectator / 95 pts Wine Advocate
“This is a stunner from blocks planted in 1997 and 1999. Beautiful aromas of toasted hazelnut and stone lead to a palate that shows undeniable minerality paired with lasting acidity. It shows freshness and energy throughout. Drink 2026–2032.” - WE
“The 2018 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard is reminiscent of a fine Chablis, opening with notes of flint that segue to citrus and soft floral perfume. The palate is tensile and shimmery with racy acidity and mineral undertones. The youthfully shy fruits hint at more gravitas to come with time in bottle. 905 cases were made.” - WA Ramey Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay 2018 - 98 pts Wine Enthusiast / 94+ pts Wine Advocate
“From older plantings on a wide-spaced site—one the producer has worked with for some time—this wine is complicated and wild, combining rich, elegant flavors of salty sea breeze with ginger and lemon puree. Seamless and supple, it has a backbone of structure and lively acidity that pair effortlessly with the apple and pear.” - WE
“The 2018 Chardonnay Ritchie Vineyard is wound up at this early stage and will require at least 2-3 years to blossom in bottle. The nose offers pure lilac, beeswax and apricot perfume with honeyed undertones, while the silky, fresh, mineral-driven palate gains amplitude on the long finish. 767 cases were made.” - WA Reply to order. The wines arrive Wednesday as ordered. |
