Ramey
About Ramey
A family-owned estate, Ramey is headed by the legendary David Ramey, a winemaker of serious pedigree. After sixteen years mastering his craft in Sonoma County at Matanzas Creek and Chalk Hill wineries, both of which he is largely responsible for establishing as the Californian forces we know today, David crossed the Mayacamas to spend six years in the Napa Valley. Quite the initial foray into the New World’s single most famous vinous appellation, Ramey was both winemakers for, and project manager of the new winery, at Dominus Estate owned by Christian Moueix of Pétrus.
“David Ramey is one of California’s best and most respected winemakers” - Stephen Brook (Decanter)
“In my mind, Ramey is one of the top wineries in the United States” - Antonio Galloni (Vinous)
Viniculture
Decidedly Burgundian in their focus on individual terroir (and of course as single-vineyard expressions), his wines are true to time and place in such a way as only the very greatest winemakers can convey – luckily David Ramey is one of the best in the business. If buyers are curious as to what this noble white grape can really do in New World terroir, worked by New World hands and vinified by the best the New World has to offer, look no further...

Jeb Dunnuck (95)The 2022 Chardonnay Russian River Valley is also a bright silver straw color and has a slightly deeper tone. Revealing notes of smoky wet stones, lemon balm, green apples, and fresh flowers, it has a bit more medium-bodied richness. with a lovely. light-on-its-feet feel in this vintage. It’s just a joy to drink now or over the next 10-12 years. |

Jeb Dunnuck (96)Bright straw-colored, the 2021 Chardonnay Woolsey Road Vineyard is forward on the nose with notes of melon rind, fresh pear, flint, and delicate baking spice, and it has a lot of vibrant nature. Medium to full-bodied, it offers fantastic tension and a linear feel with great length, and it’s going to age very well. Drink 2025-2040. |
