The 2014 Ramey Sonoma Coast Chardonnay was sourced primarily from the Martinelli Charles Ranch Vineyard, with a smaller portion being from the Platt Vineyard, which are both largely planted on Goldridge soils. This wine saw 12 months in 15% new French oak prior to bottling. It begins with aromas of lemon zest, wild mushroom and ripe pineapple. The minerality of this wine is lovely, as is the weight on the mid-palate. Flavors of poached pear, papaya, Meyer lemon and Pink Lady apple connect with lively tension on the finish.
