Textbook Russian River Chardonnay. Rich yet mineral-driven perfection.
Gorgeous lemon curd richness tempered by wet stone minerality. Hazelnut and brioche notes from careful oak work. White flowers emerge mid-palate. Creamy texture never turns heavy. Mineral finish lingers beautifully. Peak drinking now through 2024. Classic Ramey precision at its finest.
