Expert Reviews

95 Points | International Wine Cellar , May/June 2011

Bright gold.  Energetic aromas of green apple, jasmine, minerals and lemon zest.  Dry and nervy, with brisk acidity and a saline nuance giving energy and lift to its citrus and orchard fruit flavors.  Vibrant and impressively pure chardonnay, finishing spicy, long and dry, with an intriguing floral quality.

I have yet to have a Ramey Chardonnay that isn't excellent. Crisp, flavorful, and makes you come back for more. Clean finish. I want more!

Along with Morlet's Ma Douce, this is the best Chardonnay I've drunk in the past year or two. I love this style and wish more were made like this. It is full flavored and complex while remaining light on its feet and delicate - go figure. I plan to finish the rest of the bottle tonight with fresh crab and will look for more to buy.

Powerful consumer interest in California wine is driven by two major factors. The more obvious reason is that California's best wines, which come from grapes grown in...

Chardonnay

The best Chardonnays in the world continue to arrive from the region where the grape first emerged: the chalk, clay, and limestone vineyards of Burgundy and Chablis. While the origins of the grape were disputed for many years, with some speculating that the grape came all the way from the Middle East, DNA researchers at the University of California-Davis proved in 1999 that Chardonnay actually developed...
