Ramey Wine Cellars

Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay 2023

Pale lemon in color with a golden hue.

Beautiful nose of citrus, lemons, apples, pears, light earth, light oak and spices.

Medium-bodied and elegant, with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with lemons, apples, citrus, pears, spices, light oak, sea salt, light earth and minerals.

Long finish with limes and almonds.

This is a delicious Chardonnay from Napa Valley. Nicely balanced, complex and engaging. Tangy, soft and interesting. Feels like an upscale White Burgundy.

This Single Vineyard Chardonnay is still young, but already drinking beautifully, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Showing good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

Good right out of the bottle, and better when not too cold.

100% Chardonnay grapes were aged in (20% new) French oak barrels for 20 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

Comtes de Champagne Brut Rosé 2006

2006 vintage. Cork easy to extract. A rusty rosé color. Slightly dirty/earthy with light-medium body and still plenty of acidity to shepherd the proceedings along in a timely manner. Excellent depth on the finish and well-integrated perfume in the bouquet. Another solid 5-6 years at this level before any noticeable drop-off. 2.14.26. — 7 months ago

The 2014 was nice. Still needs some additional development. Give it another 3-5 yrs.

This wine tastes like warm California sunshine. I’d say it’s at the end of its pleasurable drinking window. Good mix of secondary/tertiary character — 12 days ago
