A focused and beautifully layered expression of Russian River Valley Chardonnay, the 2023 Ramey Woolsey Road Vineyard Chardonnay offers a refined balance of ripe fruit, vibrant acidity and savory complexity. Aromas of green pear, citrus, lemon, white flowers and baking spice lead into a creamy, concentrated palate with notes of lemon confit, marzipan, mint, white pepper and tangerine peel. Energetic acidity provides lift and precision, while the wine finishes with remarkable persistence and balance.
