Ramey Wine Cellars,
Ready, but will keep,
“Forty-four pounds,” I hear you cry, “the price of good Burgundy?!” Yes, Ramey doesn’t do cheap. But their wines are worth every penny. This, their entry-level Chardonnay, comes from cooler Sonoma, offering a leaner style in comparison to their other cuvées. Bright acidity is balanced by a generous intensity of apple, pear and citrus fruit. With a flinty edge, this is perfectly poised between New World richness and Old World elegance.

Ramey Wine Cellars,
Ready, but will keep,
David Ramey is a man with the vinous Midas touch. Ramey Wine Cellars was founded in 1996 by David and his wife Carla, after David had worked for almost two decades at such famous wineries as Matanzas Creek and Dominus.
Despite his background making some of California’s great red wines, it is with Chardonnay that David has carved his own niche under the family name. Along with the likes of Steve Kistler at Kistler and Jim Clendenen at ABC, David’s ethos is to balance terroir driven Californian fruit with Burgundian tradition. In David’s own words, “It’s about harmony – the marriage of Old World methods with New World innovations”.
Ramey Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay is a big step up from the Russian River cuvee. From fruit from Carneros’ famed Hyde vineyard, this is brimming with citrus fruit, underpinned with a steely minerality. The vintage has held the slightly tropical notes in check but there is a richness that is the hallmark of this cuvee. Where the Woolsey Rd is Puligny, this is more Meursault like with a breath to the wine. Give it a year or two in the cellar and enjoy anytime over the following five years.

Ramey Wine Cellars was founded in 1996 by David Ramey and his wife Carla, after David had worked for almost two decades at such famous wineries as Matanzas Creek and Dominus. "Owning one's own winery is the dream of every winemaker,"; David says, looking back on the path that led him to build his own.
Located just off the town square in Healdsburg, the winery is perfectly placed to make use of the great Sonoma and Carneros terroir famous for the quality of their Chardonnays. Ramey's philosophy is to make hand-crafted wines made in an Old World tradition, coupled with New World innovation.
The complex single vineyard Chardonnays, Hudson and Hyde, are made in exactly the same manner, so as to accentuate the difference in the terroir between the two Carneros vineyards. The Russian River Chardonnay is a fresher wine from the cooler Sonoma site, where the grapes ripen 3 weeks later than Carneros.
