RAMEY WINE CELLARS Chardonnay, Woolsey Road Vineyard 2012


2015 TOP 100 WINES | Rank #70

The 2012 Woosley Road Chardonnay is Ramey's first bottling form this site, and it is absolutely striking. This vineyard is owned by the Martinelli family and was planted to Ramey's specifications in 2007 using Old Wente cuttings taken from their Chardonnay blocks in Platt Vineyard. As this Chardonnay opens in the glass it releases gorgeous aromas of lemon zest, fuji apple, white floral, toasted almond, crushed wet stones and a dried herb character. This possesses a gorgeous rich, creamy texture and layers of complex flavors. It continues to impress with its wonderful elegance, precision and balance along with a mineral laced core. An absolutely beautiful effort from David Ramey that should contunie to drink well for close to a decade. (Best 2015-2024) - August, 2015 (JD)
