RAMEY
We have been longstanding admirers of the Ramey cellars. With great anticipation, their latest releases are on the horizon, arriving in October.
Woolsey Road Vineyard Chardonnay, Russian River Valley 2023
£68 per bottle duty paid (£53 under bond)
'The 2023 Woolsey Road Vineyard Chardonnay is one of the stars in this range from Ramey. Creamy and layered, with superb persistence, the 2023 is a real standout. Lemon confit, marzipan, white flowers, mint, white pepper and tangerine peel soar across the palate. All the elements are so well balanced. What a stunner.' 96pts, Antonio Galloni, Vinous
Rochioli Vineyard Chardonnay, Russian River Valley 2023
£68 per bottle duty paid (£53 under bond)
'The 2023 Chardonnay Rochioli Vineyard is a potent, intensely mineral wine, a Chardonnay that captures the personality of this site. Broad and ample on the palate, the 2023 possesses superb textural intensity and the drive to match. Slate mint, white flowers, chalk and dried herbs linger on the polished, salivating close.' 95pts, Antonio Galloni, Vinous
Russian River Valley Chardonnay, Russian River Valley 2024
£46 per bottle duty paid (£35 under bond)
'The 2024 Chardonnay (Russian River Valley) really overdelivers. It's an ideal expression of the Russian River Valley, with all the bright, sunny orchard fruit and spritzy citrus lift you could hope for, but also an extra measure of freshness and juiciness that leaves the mouth watering. Notably restrained, the 2024 shows excellent finesse, especially for an appellation-level bottling' 92pts, Antonio Galloni, Vinous
