Aromas of oak, flowers, vanilla and baking spice greet the nose. White peach, tangerine, and apple pie notes flow across the palate to a full, long finish. This is rich, medium-full bodied, with crisp, bracing acidity. Delicious! This is a wonderful wine.

Winferno in Umeå (Stöcksjö, Umeå): 2nd wine of the flight with 3/9 votes. Light yellow. Restrained and beautiful Chard with a really beautiful barrel treatment. In the mouth, this is fabulously refined, mild and restrained with a beautiful citrus aroma profile. Acidity is perfect! Long but unnecessarily young.
I swallowed the bait and guessed 2019 Bgn. Hah :-)

Superb depth of flavor and concentration. Oak is present right now but I think it’ll get digested with a few more years in bottle. I don’t mind it for now as the fruit is turned up to 11. Lots of spice and buttery goodness.
All of Dave’s wines have great balance and this is no exception. I eagerly await its evolution.

My first Ramey Rochioli, but hopefully not my last. Exquisitely good, probably a touch better with another year in bottle (but glad I didn't wait).

A perfectly balanced California chardonnay of substantive power and elegance. Better now than a year ago--less fat, more structure. Outstanding.
