Ramey Wine Cellars Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay 2013
Vine selection for the Hyde Vineyard Chardonnays are predominantly old Wente with some Robert Young-itself a Wente selection. The Wente produces a classic, Burgundian-style wine without the tropical fruit tones of some California Chardonnays. Hyde Vineyard wines often seem charming and feminine, with high natural acidity playing a prominent role

Following winemaking posts at Rudd, Dominus, Chalk Hill and Matanzas Creek, David Ramey and his wife, Carla began their own label in 1996, a Chardonnay from the Hyde vineyard. Hyde, in my opinion is their best Chardonnay. Aromas of ripe stone fruits with citrus notes and subtle oak. On the palate complex flavors of apple and peach flavors, crisp oak, well balanced lingering finish ending with slight mineral notes. Drinking well now, should improve over next few years.

We had this on 11/4-5/17. An excellent Chardonnay with tastes of tropical fruit, Meyer lemon, and a touch of vanilla and oak. Smooth finish with no bite.

Nice balanced acidity with orange peel citrus. More acid and minerality than other Ramey vintages. The fruit ripeness has been dialed down a bit to create a more hybrid chard with both new and old world refinement. Finish is a little muddy. It's not as complex as other Ramey chards I've had but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

What a beautiful Chardonnay. Well balanced. Smooth to the palate. Essence of apricots, vanilla and pineapple. This chard was paired with sweet lobster, shrimp, oysters and scallops.
