2018 Ramey Chardonnay Russian River Valley
2018 Ramey Chardonnay Russian River Valley
Wine Makers:David and Carla Ramey
Origin: Russian River, Sonoma County, California, United States
Vineyard: Ramey Wine Cellars – is a team of people with complementary sensibilities working toward a common goal – making and bringing to market the best wine possible. It is a winery owned and operated by a family, not a family of investors.
Tasting Note:Aromatically the wine is mineral driven with hints of green melon, lemon pith, white flowers, and damp grass. On the palate the wine is equally driven by minerality, with hints of white chalk, as well as acidic lemon zest and warm toasty notes.
“In my mind, Ramey is one of the top wineries in the United States.”
HANDCRAFTED HARMONY
David Ramey spent his early career creating benchmark wines for such wineries as Matanzas Creek, Chalk Hill, Dominus and Rudd. With that impressive resume, David and his wife Carla founded Ramey Wine Cellars in 1996.
They have been producing critically acclaimed, award-winning wines ever since, committed to Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Syrah as their primary varietals.
Located amidst the natural charm of Healdsburg, Ramey Wine Cellars embodies the balance that is the essence of California wine:
- Absolute attention to the tiniest detail, balanced by a willingness to trust nature’s sometimes unpredictable impulses.
- A philosophy rooted in traditional methods combined with an eagerness to explore exciting innovations in the industry.
- The belief that life is for living, wine is for sharing, and harmony is essential to both.
