Wine Review: This deep yellow colored Chardonnay from Ramey was well received by the panel. It opens with a red apple and ripe pineapple bouquet with a hint of oak and ginger. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, rather acidic and lively. The flavor profile is an oak influenced Anjou pear with notes of minerality and white pepper. The finish is rather dry, brisk, and refreshing. The panel suggested pairing this Chard with chicken picatta or sushi. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: If the 2010 vintage was cool, the 2011 vintage was cold. We didn't start harvesting Chardonnay until the end of September. This vintage displays the richness of fully mature fruit coupled with crisp, refreshing acidity
