2021 Ramey Russian River Valley Chardonnay

WE95 Both agile and relaxed, this well balanced, vibrant and concentrated wine carries layers of crisp apple, pastry crust and lemon curd on snappy acidity that complements a fairly rich texture and medium body. Its creamy-tangy finish lingers a long time
WS94 Stunning and powerful, with mouthwatering lemon curd, lime blossom and mandarin orange flavors, plus fresh-grated ginger and lemon verbena. Shows sea salt minerality that gains momentum on the finish, where grace notes of toasted green tea, citrus zest and white pepper linger.
