Cherry tart, grilled meat, barnyard. Smooth and supple. A strong tannic finish grips the palate. Had with the Ramey 09 Rodgers Creek and it holds up well. Awesome QPR. — 10 years ago

14' A fairly new project at Ramey . Let it open up for 10 minutes in the glass. Drink at Cellar temp. Crisp, zesty, citrusy, well integrated acidity. It's nicely put together. Great buy...dam good! — 10 years ago

“This is a powerful Pinot Noir that demonstrates excellent depth along with a rich, velvety texture that is balanced by a wonderful touch of acidity. The finish is silky and persistent with wild berries and spices attacking your palate. An excellent debut for David Ramey's first Pinot Noir.”
- International Wine Report
The cuvaison (time on skins) extends for a full three weeks, resulting in a more structured Pinot than many current California examples. This is a Pinot that will reward cellaring. Aging on fine lees, with malolactic in barrel, incorporates the oak, making the 15 months spent in one-year-old barrels (previously used for Chardonnay) barely noticeable. As with all of our wines, the Pinot Noir undergoes native yeast and malolactic fermentations. — 11 years ago

I'm not sure if there is a better cab. Ramey is close but more expensive. The nose is ripe red fruit leather and tobacco. The flavor is balanced and smooth. With a clean finish. A perfect pairing with a steak dinner or blue cheese and antipasta — 12 years ago
