Silent Lot #104 – Ramey Wine Cellars
Classic Chardonnay

At Ramey, the goal is to craft wines that are in perfect balance…they like to say they are guided by the soul of the land. David Ramey has been described as a visionary in the wine industry and his skill and expertise certainly shows in his collection of Chardonnays. A Magnum of the newly-released Ramey 2011 Napa-Carneros Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay could be yours for the taking if you play your cards right. This vintage—a super-classic Chardonnay—displays the richness of fully mature fruit coupled with crisp, refreshing acidity. The Hyde Vineyard bottling is more luscious in style; a complex wine of exceptional quality. It is richly flavored, full-bodied, very long on the palate, and crisp and very long on the finish. Savor its marvelous textural balance and finesse and remember that The Wine Advocate gave it 93 points for a reason. With excellent purity and hints of tropical fruit that linger on the close, this Chardonnay has surprising length and richness for a 2011.
