Ramey delivers textbook Russian River Chardonnay with mineral precision.
Lemon curd richness meets wet stone minerality. Hazelnut undertones from judicious oak. Brioche complexity suggests barrel fermentation. White flowers lift the nose. Creamy texture balanced by crisp acidity. Clean, lingering finish. Peak drinking now through 2018. Classic California Chardonnay done right.
