Ramey
About Ramey
A family-owned estate, Ramey is headed by the legendary David Ramey, a winemaker of serious pedigree. After sixteen years mastering his craft in Sonoma County at Matanzas Creek and Chalk Hill wineries, both of which he is largely responsible for establishing as the Californian forces we know today, David crossed the Mayacamas to spend six years in the Napa Valley. Quite the initial foray into the New World’s single most famous vinous appellation, Ramey was both winemakers for, and project manager of the new winery, at Dominus Estate owned by Christian Moueix of Pétrus.
“David Ramey is one of California’s best and most respected winemakers” - Stephen Brook (Decanter)
“In my mind, Ramey is one of the top wineries in the United States” - Antonio Galloni (Vinous)
Viniculture
Decidedly Burgundian in their focus on individual terroir (and of course as single-vineyard expressions), his wines are true to time and place in such a way as only the very greatest winemakers can convey – luckily David Ramey is one of the best in the business. If buyers are curious as to what this noble white grape can really do in New World terroir, worked by New World hands and vinified by the best the New World has to offer, look no further...

Wine Enthusiast (98)From older plantings on a wide-spaced site—one the producer has worked with for some time—this wine is complicated and wild, combining rich, elegant flavors of salty sea breeze with ginger and lemon puree. Seamless and supple, it has a backbone of structure and lively acidity that pair effortlessly with the apple and pear. |

Jeb Dunnuck (95)A bright straw color, the 2022 Chardonnay Russian River Valley is fresh and aromatic with notes of flinty, ripe, fresh apple, candied lemon, a savory, lightly herbaceous touch, and a hint of wet stone. Medium to full-bodied, it’s elegant and long on the palate, with a delicate saline touch and a balanced feel throughout. It is phenomenal wine and shows off the versatility of this vintage with ease. Drink it over the next 10 or more years. |

Wine Enthusiast (98)Quenchingly fresh, complex and structured, this wine balances lushness and rounded edges of richness with vibrant acidity and length. From the producer's own 75-acre ranch, this vintage comes from a block planted in 1989. Gravenstein apple, pear and a note of nutmeg accent a stony texture of graceful tension. |

Wine Advocate (96)The 2019 Chardonnay Woolsey Road Vineyard has singular scents of warm peaches and burnt lemon with touches of meringue, beeswax, saline and flint. The medium-bodied palate is energetic and tense at this youthful stage, its satiny texture opposed by tangy freshness, and it finishes long and flinty. It will be long lived in bottle and will benefit from 3-5 more years under cork. 624 cases were made. |

Jeb Dunnuck (96)Bright straw-colored, the 2021 Chardonnay Woolsey Road Vineyard is forward on the nose with notes of melon rind, fresh pear, flint, and delicate baking spice, and it has a lot of vibrant nature. Medium to full-bodied, it offers fantastic tension and a linear feel with great length, and it’s going to age very well. Drink 2025-2040. |
