Ramey "Rochioli Vineyard" Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2020

Wine Enthusiast : 98 Points

(7/1/2023) Great depth comes with impeccable balance in this beautifully proportioned wine that is silky and bracing at the same time. Bright acidity mingles with ripe Bosc pears, cream and toast flavors that linger nicely on the finish. Collectible and age-worthy, it will only improve with time. Best from 2026–2036. Cellar Selection.

(7/21/2023) The 2020 Chardonnay Rochioli Vineyard is a stately white from this incredible vineyard, with potent and expressive aromas of honeysuckle, preserved orange citrus, and fresh pineapple. It is layered and complex, with a touch of spice, it’s full bodied on the palate and has ample texture, although it’s not heavy, with a creamy mouthfeel and notes of lightly toasted hazelnut, ripe orchard fruit, custard, and ripe baked apples. It’s long on the palate and has a good finish. Drink it over the next 12 or more years.
