98 Points - limited release A great new Chardonnay release from Ramey. Limited. 100 Points Wine Enthusiast "Editor's Choice": "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." 95 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "One of my favorite releases from Ramey, the Chardonnay Rochioli Vineyard comes from a Grand Cru site in the Russian River and has incredibly classic notes of white flowers, tart citrus, and subtle orchard fruits. It’s one of those wines that’s both powerful and elegant, with medium to full body, a great mid-palate, integrated acidity, and just everything in the right places. It’s a beautiful, layered, age-worthy Chardonnay to enjoy over the coming 10-15 years."

Straight out delicious. Dark. Viscous. Mango? Draw back was the headache.

The 2019 Chardonnay Estate is a gorgeous appellation-level wine. Bright, floral and finely cut, the 2019 possesses terrific energy and cut, all in a gracious, airy style that is hugely appealing. Lemon confit, melon, dried flowers and a touch of spice linger. The Estate is a blend taken from across the property, and that complexity makes for a highly intriguing wine.

We had the 2019 Vintage on 7/8-9/23. A full bodied and well balanced Chardonnay. Tastes of lemon grass, apple, oak, vanilla and minerality. Very good! Would buy more.
