Ramey Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay


2007 Ramey Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay

REGION
Carneros, California

VARIETAL
Chardonnay

Available for Purchase Here

"In 2007, this stunning Chardonnay is our pick of the very good bunch from Ramey. It reflects much the same winemaking hand insofar as it is firm, compact and solidly-structured with nary a suggestion of fat, but it moves to the head of the clan by virtue of its extra richness and depth. While it presently hints at stony complexity and teams generous, wonderfully continuous, young fruit with very deftly fit oak, it has a good distance to go before it fully unwinds, and to drink it before it has had the chance to age for two or three years will be to miss what is sure to be a very grand wine."

"A big, rich red with tart cherry flavors and sweet tannins, this finishes clean."

90 Points - Wine & Spirits

"The 2006 Marilyn Merlot has a striking package. But, it's the wine inside that makes the vintage worth sipping. This is a medium-bodied Merlot, with soft tannins, bright fruit and a plush and lengthy finish. It's a tasty Merlot and makes for a collectors item both for the popularity of the brand and the tastiness of the wine."

"This sauvignon has the fatness of gooseberries and litchi nuts. Its firm edge of lemongrass will accent gingery Cantonese dishes, like steamed flounder."

"This is a firm, dry, minerally Chardonnay. It's not blockbuster rich, but it is clean and vibrant and elegant. The flinty flavors are enriched with notes of pineapples and green apples, while oak and lees give hints of buttered toast and sour cream. A very fine, food-friendly wine that sommeliers should be aware of."

"Our wine of the year in 2007 (the ’04 El Puntido) is back with a vengeance in the 2005 vintage. This is a deep-fruited modern specimen with that elusive mix of floral, fruit and meaty characteristics. The palate is ripe and everlasting, with berry, coffee and hickory flavors. Long and calm on the finish, with amazing texture. An excellent encore to the prior year’s achievement."

Newton Unfiltered Chardonnay



2007 Newton Unfiltered Chardonnay

REGION
Napa Valley, California

VARIETAL
Chardonnay

Lowest Price HERE

"Very dry, a lean, austere Chardonnay currently marked by aloof flavors of lemons, limes and oak. Yet there’s something going on. As the wine warms in the glass it becomes richer, showing hidden pineapple tart, macadamia and crème brûlée. Firm, minerally acidity is there throughout, making for a mouthwatering cleanliness. Drink this streamlined, Chablis-like wine now–2013."

"This wine has a huge plummy nose with some cherry, leather, tobacco, and a touch of menthol. The flavor profile is distinct with tons of sweet, tasty plums and rich velvety leather. This was a "wow" wine for me which is hitting its stride right now. The immense tannin presence suggests another 15 years of life, yet the wine is totally approachable right now and you won't be sorry you opened it. The finish lasts for at least 45 seconds. I really needed to drink a great bottle of wine to reinforce my love for wine. This was it...for now..."
