From magnum. All the flavors you expect from a well a well-aged Chardonnay. Good stone fruit and minerality. Drink over the next 5 years.

****See previous notes

Just a delicious , well balanced, classic Californian Chard. Amongst the best. Buttery, with nice acidity. Creamy with tropical notes.

Just delicious.
Case worthy.

Ok. This is my greatest wine find ever. The current release of this wine retails for $80ish. I was able to pick up 10 of these for $3.19 each. Yes. Three dollars. A local wine store changed hands and the new owner was unloading these as "cooking wine" since they had been in the store for almost 20 years under "less than ideal" storage conditions. And this is all the proof that you need: wine is tough and resilient. If you're holding something for over 50 years, sure, treat it right. But don't sweat about storage conditions for most wines.

Stereotypical, oaked Chardonnay. Lemon curd and pineapple, but tons of vanilla, smoke and butter. Honestly, I love it. I love the style. Rich and creamy. There's still some acidity, but it's mostly mellow by now. Still a very creamy texture. Medium finish. This goes down as my greatest wine find ever.

Splendid. Flint stones, honey, apples, tropical fruit, oaky butter and a long saline finish.

Easily one of the best Chardonnays from California. I was hesitant to give 97 but damn this is good, notes of ripe orchard fruit, asian pear, crème brûlée and nutmeg. The palate is succulent and layered with rich Asian fruit, sea salt and vanilla tart flooding the palate, the mid-palate wonderfully layered slight rich yet with this vibrant energy throughout, finishing long and energetic. Wow! Top 3 Chardonnay I have ever tasted.

Wife says this might be the best domestic chardonnay she's ever had and I am too smart to disagree. Beyond the expected flavor profile (note to self - no sulfur! that's a good thing) it went with beef salami and epoisses as if we were following instructions on a celestial label. Will try to get more. No 2020 worries here as of now.

Ramey @LaMarc Wines: Eik, vanilje og smør på duft, melon og hint av stikkelsbær. Middels stram, ren og mineralsk. Slank i innslaget men vokser i munnen, Imponerende struktur og tekstur, veldig lang smakskurve, lineær; salt og røyktoner med en påfuglhale av en ettersmak! Stålende vin. 93 +

Another lovely bottle of this wine. Superbly balanced with complexity and nothing really out of place. Some cream and butter but in good measure, bright acidity, varied citrus notes, white stone fruit, light white florals, wet stones and a long evolving, slightly saline finish. Stunning with pan sautéed red snapper and beurre blanc.

I agree with Thalver's note. I think this wine was a bit over the hill. I probably should have opened it about 3 years ago. Nevertheless, it was still a very well made wine and quite enjoyable but with more mature elements (similar to an older white Burgundy). Drink now for those who still have this wine in their cellar.

This has a lot of oak , straight out of the bottle. Double decant in a wide decanter. 3 hours of air. Opens up significantly. Now, this is just lovely. Pear, citrus, oak. Long aftertaste. Not handing back any of these bottles!

In my cellar since release. Tasted over 2 days with and without food. Bright medium to dark lemon yellow. Nose of lemon curd, white peach, cream, not butter. It has nice texture, decent though not extremely high acidity, notes of Marcona almonds, lemony citrus, more of the elements on the nose and only a moderately long finish. Lovely wine.

Big fan of Ramey chardonnays like many other people. This one has nice gorgeous fruit. Sweet long finish. Just a delight on the palate. Alchohol of 14.5% was nicely integrated. I would love to hold on to these wines longer but they take up sooooo much space in my free standing cellar. I have a 2005 Ramey Hudson that just sings so one can wait a while before opening. I think this wine will continue to evolve over the next 5 years.

Consumed over two days (vacuvined and refrigerated), note from day 2. Appearance: Clear, medium gold. Nose: Clean, medium+ intensity with developing aromas of apricot, pineapple, guava, and saline with hints of fresh bread and anise - subtly complex. Palate: Dry, medium+ acid, medium body, medium+ intensity, 13.5% abv with flavors of stone fruit - apricot, tropical fruit - guava, and saline with long subtle finish.

Balance: Outstanding - clean from front to back with perfect balance between acid, fruit, and mineral
Length: Outstanding - subtle but extremely persistent
Intensity: Excellent
Complexity: Excellent

Overall, an outstanding wine drinking well upon opening but even better on day 2. Has the stuffing to drink well for 5+ years easily, likely for a decade or more.

Marvelous crisp citrus flavors including apricot and lemon. The effervescence has resolved (disappeared). This wine is evolving beautifully and has plenty more life. This well-made, full bodied Cali chardonnay can easily go a decade if properly cellared.

Brief note from memory. Tense lemon and green apple fruit with fairly high acidity and some saline minerality. Touch of green herb. Creamy texture. Years from peak drinking.
