2009 vintage. Great stuff. Rich and concentrated, but elegant and balanced. Ripe apple, candied lemon, stone, toasty oak flavors. Fresh w nice acidity

2005 vintage. Liquid gold. Intense aromatics ( pineapple, lemon confit, butter and a hint of beewax). Broad-shouldered powerful Chardonnay at its peak (I guess) balanced by wonderful acidity and perfectly integrated oak. Long and intense. Another great effort from one of my favourite winemakers.

Shouldn't be surprised but am a little at how well this '05 is tasting- perfect time to be drinking.

"Ramey's 2011 Chardonnay Hudson Vineyard is beautifully layered and succulent in the glass. Butter, almonds and hazelnuts all add complexity as this enveloping, resonant Chardonnay shows off its personality."
- Antonio Galloni, Vinous, February 2014
We use classical Burgundian techniques with the addition of whole cluster pressing of the grapes. All of our Chardonnays go through native yeast fermentation in three-year air dried French and Hungarian oak barrels and then native, delayed malolactic fermentation. The Hudson is aged sur lies for 20-21 months in barrel, and then lightly fined with traditional fining agents before being bottled without filtration.

Even more luscious than Hyde. Another great example of Cali chard. This wine clearly knows what it is and struts it's stuff.
