Ramey Wine Cellars,
Ready, but will keep,
Sourced from High Valley in Lake County, the Brassfield Sauvignon Blanc vineyard is north of Napa at 1,800 feet above sea-level. It is one of the coolest sites in Lake County and helps the wines obtain nervier acidities. As for the winemaking: whole-cluster fermentation, no malolactic and a mix of stainless steel and oak barrels for fermentation, it’s then aged for two months on lees, in a mix of neutral oak, stainless steel and concrete egg. The resultant wine is almost Loire in style – fresh and chalky with a citrus core.

This Sauvignon comes from the well-known Ritchie vineyard. In the Russian River (Sonoma County), the site is a mix of sandy loam and volcanic soil with vines planted in 1972. After whole-cluster pressing, the juice is fermented in concrete eggs and spends eight months on lees, with some aged in neutral barre. It has an attractive phenolic grip with intense grapefruit, a herbal note and a mineral attack.

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.
