Ramey Chardonnay, Russian River Valley, USA 2023

Description

A beautifully balanced expression of Russian River Valley Chardonnay, the 2023 Ramey Chardonnay combines generous California fruit with vibrant acidity and elegant texture. Aromas of stone fruit, pineapple, lemon and white flowers lead into a layered palate of ripe orchard fruit, peach, ginger, toasted brioche and subtle baking spice. Fresh acidity keeps the wine energetic and focused, while a long, perfumed finish brings together citrus, minerality and delicate savory notes.
