Ramey Vineyard Napa Valley (Russian River-Sonoma County) 2019 Chardonnay, $32.30-$39.99, 93 points, poured the lightest of yellow-gold color with graying towards the rim.
Aromas were delicate and subtle, but hints of beechwood, pome blossoms, apple, and dusty white grape were lovely.
Not quite a medium-bodied white wine, dry, sweet-spot acidic, and for the discerning palate with gentle flavors reflective of the aromas with peripheral notes of vanilla and ginger.
Finished long on hints of lemon peel, the ineffable sense of minerality, and easy ginger ale.
Paired perfectly with our baked turkey pie.
Comment/JMO: The last three Cali Chardonnays posted have totally restored my faith in Cali Chardonnays!!! If you love Sauvignon Blanc but find them often too acidic or tight on citrus, let me recommend these last three Chardonnays.
