Another great chardonnay release from the master David Ramey. Get some while it's still available. 95 Points Wine Enthusiast: "The Ramey Russian River Chardonnay is a great appellation wine, overdelivering on price with an opening touch of matchstick that evolves into a stony, high-toned expression of tangerine and blood orange. Within the fruit are savory notes of nutmeg, hazelnut and ginger that linger leisurely on the lengthy finish." 91 Points Robert Parker: "The Ramey Chardonnay Russian River Valley is fermented in barrel with bâtonnage, then aged in 20% new French oak for 12 months. The nose is very minerally, with aromas of petrichor, lemon pith, green melon and soft white blossom with sliced almond hints. Medium to full-bodied, it's citrusy in the mouth with tons of minerally sparks, lively tangy acidity and creamy, toasty nuances on the finish."

Big. Oak stands out. Great acidity as well but not currently as in tune as the 2019. Rewrite: Big wine but still quite Burgundian. Not a fruit or oak bomb by any means.
