Wine Review: This pale straw colored Chardonnay from Ramey opens with mild oak and apple bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied and displays rather high-toned acidity for a Chard. It does settle down on day two. The flavor profile is an oak influenced pineapple with notes of lemon verbena and butterscotch. I also detected hints of apple and white pepper. The finish is dry and its flavors linger for a while. I would serve this Chard at room temperature and pair it with chicken francese. Enjoy
Winemaker Notes: Coming from special vineyard sites, our Chardonnays show great depth of flavor, length of finish, aromatic complexity, and a fine balance between richness and delicacy. Typically, the climate is cool and the soil vigor low, producing graceful yet vibrant wines. This is our first bottling from this new site.
