9.1

Clean dry wine with light body and pale lemon gold color. Light intensity on nose with citrus lemon and apricot. Light slippery body with medium acid. Tons of apricot and stony fruit. Pink grapefruit with diluted watermelon juice and rind with a short finish. Not too complex but great balance with acid and mild fruit. Medium low alcohol from the cooler climate. Great. — 8 years ago

Green apple translucent yellow in color. Great nose with loads of passion fruit, grapefruit, and apricot. Hints of fresh rubber and grassy stone. Medium plus acidity with medium long bitter melon rind finish gives it great structure and crisp juicy mouth feel. Very ripe fruit forward Sauvignon blanc. — 8 years ago

Decent nose. Unbalanced for me. Too much bitterness from grapefruit that is a bit overpowering. Maybe it can pair with something? Not complex. One note is all I get. — 8 years ago

9.4

Deep ruby garnet red. Big earthy red fruit nose of raspberry jam, blueberry, and earthy forest soil. Big fruit with slight sweetness from the intense ripeness of the grapes. Great balance and complexity. Reminiscent of "cult" like Napa wines but from Argentina. Affordable price for such luxurious opulence!! 2007 vintage aged nicely. — 8 years ago

Deep purplish red in color. Light to medium body. Medium nose with currant, sour cherries, and red fruit. Mouthfeel is light and tart with bitter melon finish. A bit tight in structure with decent fruit and medium tannins. Medium low alcohol. Slight old world green vegetables and terroir. Medium acid. — 8 years ago

9.1

Nice balanced acidity with orange peel citrus. More acid and minerality than other Ramey vintages. The fruit ripeness has been dialed down a bit to create a more hybrid chard with both new and old world refinement. Finish is a little muddy. It's not as complex as other Ramey chards I've had but that's not necessarily a bad thing. — 8 years ago

Alluring complex nose. Almost mysterious quality for a ridiculous low price. Will have to try again to take notes. — 8 years ago
