2008 vintage Carneros district. This is a great example of a terrific "Village" (in Burgundy terms) Chardonnay and it shows how David Ramey's wines can age. Still young at 9 years old. Powerful nose with brioche, ripe white stone fruit and butter ( not unlike some of the more flashy Meursault wines like Goutte d'Or). Broad, intense taste, maybe not the most subtle, but irresistible. Great acidity keeps it balanced. Amazing length too.

Still fresh, very ripe, new world, but well done. Not too oaky/buttery

A bit of mineral, lemon, and honey.

My favorite winery period. 14.5% for a chard but not out of balance. A must with Alfredo.
