Crisp yet soft on the palate, wonderful color, shinning, good fruit and a very long finish.

Last tasted on Memorial Day, in memory of a fellow serviceman, LCDR Larry Michael Jordan. The wine is just about the same as those notes of 5/27/15.

Wonderfully balanced - vanilla butterscotch apple tropical fruit pushes against fresh lime zest acidity. Good persistence on front part of tongue. Great w romaine and fresh orange salad w honey lemon vinagrette. Yum.

Ramey Tasting (Woodbury, MN): light medium gold color. Tasting pour over 30 minutes. Lovely, fresh and floral on the nose with lemon, light toast. The palate is ever evolving becoming more sophisticated and complex over time. There's good acid with a brightness to the lemon oil and subtle peach notes, though maybe a bit less acid than the '09 and '11 but holds together nicely. Medium body with meyer lemon, and subtle almond brittle. 91+ to 92pts.

Still drinking great. Remember buying a case of this for $30 bottle during the Great Recession. To me, this is the best “value” alternative to Aubert.

Nice old school chardonnay expressing notes of peach, pear and lemon meringue. Light oak adds a touch of honey creaminess to the mouthfeel that is balanced well by the mineral-driven acidity on the long finish. This got better and more complex as it sat in the glass and should be terrific with some additional time to come together.

Even better than several months ago, this gorgeous chard is rich and redolent with lemon curd, guava, pineapple, and sea-salted butter. While there is plenty of fruit, it shows such a depth and cut in the mouth as well, and unfolds new layers over time. Most of all, every sip I am just thinking - or usually involuntarily expostulating aloud - just how delicious this is. Drink now, or especially if you only have one, hold a bit longer. 93-94+

Pale gold.

Nose: Brown butter, delicate white flower, crushed chalk.

Mouth: A melange of asian pear, starfruit, and candied meyer lemon leads just ahead of a high-toned midpalate of lees spice that scales in richness before rolling over into multiple waves of butter, toast, lemon acid, white flower, and chalk. The extended finish ripples back on itself, echoing at least two or three times over before finally fading.

Overall: Agile out of the gate and sneakily long in the end, this has huge energy buried within it at the moment. Builds over time as flavors stack and compound on each other, but crucially nothing ever goes away: if a flavor is introduced, it's carried through all the way to the end of the finish. The midpalate spice remains a bit rambunctious, but should calm over time. This might have a smaller drinking window, but when it settles it will be excellent. Drink 2022-2026.

96.

Light golden color. Nose of lemon custard, baked apple, some tropical fruit and a hint of butterscotch. Very nice. Similar flavors on the palate with a nice balance between the fruit and oak and some underlying mineral character. Excellent acidity made this a joy to drink and helped balance out the rich flavors and mouthfeel. Long finish. Fantastic CA chardonnay.

Yes, I do like it, but it's not the usual Hyde that I prefer; more like the fatter, oakier Richie. Still, there's no denying the immensity of the pineapple fruit and just enough acid on the finish to keep it from being flabby. This clearly needs drinking up ASAP.

We have had several bottles with same wonderful experience. I agree with ONTHELEES elegant review but would add pineapple as a tasting element.

Our favorite Ramey Chard so far. Great mouthfeel, delicious fruit, good acidity, a hint of oak and sipping length. Really satisfies. Looking forward to the Hyde vineyard still cellaring.

Was expecting this to be on a downward decline, but I was pleasently surprised. Ripe fruit, just enough acidity to keep it balanced and a hint of honeyed sweetness from age. Excellent aged Cali chard that is still chugging along.

Dramatically different from the '09, the last vintage of Ramey Hyde I have tasted, and all the better for it. The oak has been dialed back greatly, resulting in a much fresher version, with notes of green apple, pear and lemon. Devoid of tropical fruit, it's almost gentle and very easy to drink now. I could wish for a bit more intensity, though, but that may be the 2012 vintage. But nascent complexity more than compensates and this is my favorite 2012 California Chardonnay so far.

Ripe and yet balanced, with a long finish, this was great right out of the bottle and stayed that way all evening. Really enjoyable and a crowd favorite at dinner. Just flat out exactly what you want/expect from a Cali Chardonnay. A-/A

Really gorgeous. I was worried about it since it was several years past it's 2015 "Drink Latest" date here on CT, but decided to open and pair with grilled swordfish and a garlic-butter sauce. The Ramey Hyde Vineyard is one of my favorite Chards- right there with Leeuwin Art Series, for my tastes. Deftly made with great fruit, tonight's wine managed to blend a beautiful lemony acidity with a pleasant oily mouthfeel. So well balanced and delicious from nose to finish. I think there are a few more years left for this vintage. Currently, cellars are showing only a 64/36% consumed rate, so why not enjoy one soon if you have multiples.

Reflective golden yellow. Strong ripe pears and honeydew and apples with a light hint of lemon on the nose. Light lemon on the front palate followed by pears and a hint of grapefruit. Wonderful harmony of acids and tannins. The finish, combining all of the above with a slight and pleasant walnut bitterness, lasts forever. Really excellent with strong energy.
