Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2014

Had this about a year ago. After stints at Rudd, Dominus, Chalk Hill and Matanzas Creek, winemakers David Ramey and his wife, Carla began their own label in 1996. Sunshine Straw with aromas of stone and tropical fruit with sweet vanilla oak scents. On the palate apple, peach and apricot flavors, citrus zest with toasty oak. Lingering on a smooth finish ending with creamy notes. Delicious! Aged well. You can still find the 2014, so grab one, you won’t be disappointed. — 8 years ago

Wild Flower California Goldenrod Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay 2010

Jay McInerney said about his first time tasting Chardonnay from Santa Rita Hills "It was a little like meeting Jessica Simpson only to have her start speaking perfect French in Carla Bruni's voice."
Anjou pear, Meyer lemon zest, almond paste, and vanilla poached peach.

Platt Vineyard Chardonnay 2013

Following winemaking posts at Rudd, Dominus, Chalk Hill and Matanzas Creek, David Ramey and his wife, Carla began their own label in 1996. Platt is Ramey’s coolest vineyard. Aromas of ripe stone fruits with citrus notes and subtle spice. On the palate tons of fruit just starting to emerge with apple and lemon flavors, well balanced lingering finish ending with a slight mineral tang. Drink now and over next few years. — 8 years ago

Claret Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2015

Following winemaking posts at Rudd, Dominus, Chalk Hill and Matanzas Creek, David Ramey and his wife, Carla began their own label in 1996. A blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 4% Malbec, 2% Syrah & 2% Petit Verdot. Deep purple with fresh berry fruit aromas and earthy spice tones. Blackberry currant flavors, almost jammy, with herb notes and soft fine tannins. Medium finish, easy drinking best now over next couple of years, ending with a spice character. — 8 years ago

Les Champs Libres (René-Jean Dard & Hervé Souhaut)

'Lard, des Choix' Vin de Pays de l'Ardèche Red Rhone Blend 2015

I need a case of this stat! It's one thing to know that this is the love child of Hervé Souhaut and René-Jean Dard, it's another to know it tastes of one too. The gamay lightens and brightens the Syrah. Add a zippy tingle and some slightly chewy tannins and this is just pure fun to drink! Thanks to @Carla Hine for the recommendation! You know me too well! — 9 years ago

Mataro 2010

Same bottle posted last night but now on day two. Still juicy with a marshmallow/cotton candy nose (thanks @Carla Hine you were spot on with that description!) but some gritty earthy flavors are emerging and the acid and tannins are settling well into the wine. — 10 years ago

@Brian Tuite did you see Esther Mobley's pieces in the SF Chronicle's website today? Her tasting notes include the 2010 Matero. It was so random as we had opened this last night before seeing the piece. But yes! The wine was gorgeous tonight! Cheers!
