Note di degustazione
Old Wente cuttings were taken from Ramey's Chardonnay blocks in Platt Vineyard, which had been selected from the Hyde Vineyard. The vineyard is owned by the Martinelli family and was planted to Ramey's specifications in 2007. Rootstock is the low-vigour 420A and the vines are cane pruned. Rich nose yet very crisp on the palate with some green vegetal quality. Really lively – much livelier than most wines in this AVA. (JR)

Honeyed lemon, white flowers, brioche, and subtle creamy notes emerge from the 2018 Chardonnay Woolsey Road Vineyard, another rich, medium to full-bodied, wonderfully textured Chardonnay from Ramey. It has good acidity, a more structured, concentrated style, and will benefit from a year or two of bottle age.
The 2018 Chardonnay Woolsey Road Vineyard was aged 20 months in 25% new French oak. It's a lovely, mineral-driven style, with scents that segue from iodine and dashi to spiced apples and quince. The palate is silky, featherweight and minerally, finishing very long and lifted. 540 cases were made.
The 2018 Chardonnay Woolsey Road Vineyard is a singular, distinctive wine from a top site in the Russian River Valley. It shows tremendous nuance and character to match its transparent personality. Chardonnays from this part of Sonoma are often more exuberant than this. The Woolsey Road is all class.
