David Ramey founded his cellars in 1996 after a Burgundian education that included a stint at Petrus, and he's become one of California's great Chardonnay craftsmen by applying old-world techniques to top Sonoma fruit. This Russian River bottling is his benchmark expression: barrel-fermented, aged on the lees, and built for balance rather than excess. Expect ripe orchard and citrus fruit, a creamy texture, and a savory, lees-driven complexity that lifts it well above the everyday. This is the half-bottle รขโ‚ฌโ€ perfect for a smaller pour. Drinking beautifully now.

Robert Parker

92 points

"The 2022 Chardonnay Russian River Valley has inviting scents of yellow apples, allspice, toast and flint. The light-bodied palate strikes a balance of ripe fruit and spicy oak. Its satiny texture is tempered by lively acidity, and it has a long, flavorful finish. This is dangerously easy to drink!"

Wine Spectator

94 points

"Oozing with character, this succulent and mouthwatering white offers a fleshy, juicy mix of perfectly ripe peach, mango and lemon bar flavors, with fresh herbal accents of lemon verbena and vetiver. Offers accents of freshly grated ginger, tangerine and crunchy sea salt on the finish."

More about Ramey Cellars

David Ramey is the stuff of California legend. After starting out at Chรขteau Pรฉtrus, he made his name at Matanzas Creek, Chalk Hill, Dominus and Rudd, bringing European practices like native-yeast fermentation to California before founding Ramey Wine Cellars in Healdsburg in 1996. In 2021 he handed the reins to his children, Claire and Alan, now co-presidents. The Chardonnays are magnificent, and the Claret is just the light red we want with a slight chill and a burger.
