Wine Review: This Chardonnay from Ramey opens with a pinecone and mild lemon like bouquet. On the palate, this wine is light bodied, very acidic, and crisp. The flavor profile is a ripe pineapple and red apple blend with hints of lemon and mild oak in the background. The finish is rather dry and its flavors fade away nicely. This Chardonnay would pair well with Frutti di Mare with angel hair. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Hudson Vineyard wines tend to a more muscular, masculine character—broad-shouldered, if you will. This year's bottling is the fourth to come entirely from B-block, planted in 2001 to a Wente selection from the Hyde Vineyard, so the vines were ten years old this vintage and further developing their maturity.
