Ramey Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay is consistently one of California's finest Chardonnays. Second-tier doesn't cut it for Ramey fruit sources. Larry Hyde's gem of a property has been recognized on labels from Marcassin, Paul Hobbs and Kistler. Unbelievably nuanced for a full-throttle Chardonnay, this balances California flair with restraint and grip. 95 Points Wine Spectator: "Precise and powerfully structured, with intense Asian pear, apple and ripecitrus flavors that feature rich, savory notes. Displays concentrated minerality on the spicy and textured finish. Should blossom in the cellar. Best from 2021 through 2025."

Apple, cedar, toasted brioche, lemon candy, honey and oak. Great acidity and balance.

Great single vineyard Carneros Chard. The juxtaposition of fresh and nutty flavor is just ingenious; raging from Mayer lemon to macadamia nuts and everything in between. The oak is well disguised. Lengthy finish. Visited and tasted several chards from The Hyde Vineyard and this definitely stars/stands out. Cheers.

Pop and pour. A resplendent straw color. On the nose. Expressive nose of pear, honey, toast, apricot, and floral. Taste: A rich, medium body, slightly chalky wine with pear, lemon, little pineapple, lime zest, and a vanilla/mineral finish.....always get a quality wine with Ramey.
