The nose is lemon curd, butterscotch, and fresh cut grass. Bright acidity up front with some buttery richness through the mid-palate and a hint of vanilla on the finish. All around a very well balanced wine. — 15 days ago

The Hyde Vineyard is like a Cathedral for Chardonnay. Merely tasting Chardonnay from this site, sought after by California wine making royalty becomes and extraordinary experience. Hobbs and Ramey have taken California Chardonnay to new highs with fruit derived from this soil. This example is no exception, with a good seven years of aging, the wine has developed deep nuances like nutty and brioche notes which soften as the wine breaths. Finish is long and refreshing with abundant citrus. Cheers. — 4 months ago

Pale yellow, looks inviting. Beautiful nose with some stone fruit, pineapple, and banana. Medium bodied, maybe on the light side. Drinks simply, more tropical fruit notes and light crisp acidity. Not a powerful wine but one with a good expression and a refreshing palate. — a month ago

First experience with the ‘09 Ramey Rodgers Creek Syrah some 15 years after harvest. Shows beautifully still. Inky, minerality and dark fruits on the nose, incredibly smooth on the palate with graphite, earth, plum, brambly blackberry and more. Powerful now with some years left. — 4 months ago
