Ramey Chardonnay Rochioli Vineyard Russian River Valley 2021

Aromatically the wine jumps out of the glass with notes of white flowers, Asian pears, and green apple. On the palate, the wine is beautifully balanced, with a wonderful richness to it from the ripe fruit characteristics and an underlying minerality.

Critical Acclaim

97 James Suckling

Layered, elegant, vivid and mineral-driven, this full-bodied wine paints a distinct picture of one of Sonoma Countys oldest, most iconic chardonnay vineyards. Stone, kiwi and crisp apple notes fill the aromas, while light accents of butter and vanilla bean highlight the vibrant green apple and lime flavors. It expands on the palate and echoes for minutes in the finish. This wine is known to age well, so drink or hold.

95 Wine Spectator

Elegant and precise, there’s plenty to admire in this crisp expression — apple, lemon zest and Sumo orange notes, plus an aromatic punch of yuzu, orange blossoms and sweet grass. A quiet toasted brioche detail lingers in the background, as does a savory thread of freshly grated ginger and toasted green tea hints.

95 Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

The 2021 Chardonnay Rochioli Vineyard is stunning! It features dynamic, detailed aromas of Meyer lemon, chalk and candle smoke offset by deeper tones of brioche and panna cotta. The medium-bodied palate pairs pure, generous flavors with racy acidity, and it has incredible length.
