| 2005 Ramey Chardonnay Carneros | 750 ML | $34.99 | 91 Points! Robert Parker's Wine Advocate # 174 Dec 2007 Reviewer: Robert Parker | The 2005 Chardonnay Los Carneros exhibits scents of lemon and lime oil intermixed with orange blossom, quince, and white currant-like notes. Medium to full-bodied with good acidity providing freshness and vibrancy, it will provide plenty of pleasure over the next 2-3 years. One of Northern California’s most successful winemakers/consultants, David Ramey’s personal winery continues to go from strength to strength. Ramey has had the best of both worlds, working in Bordeaux for the Moueix family, and in California at Dominus, Chalk Hill, and Rudd Estate. Ramey has two hierarchies of Chardonnays, his generic appellations as well as his single vineyard cuvees. Drink 2007-2010 Ramey Winemaker: David Ramey | http://www.rameywine.com/ | | 90 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, May/Jun 07| 2005 Ramey Chardonnay Carneros: Bright straw. Complex aromas of tangerine, pear, gingerbread and smoked meat display impressive thrust and focus. Fleshy and round, with energetic citrus and citrus zest flavors and a deeper note of poached pear on the finish. Gains more weight with air and takes on an interesting musky quality. |
