Ramey Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard (750ML)

From Carneros

Vintage: 2020
Description: 99 We / 98 Jd / 97 Wa. #5 Wine Enthusiast's Top 100 Cellar Selections of 2023. This full-bodied, incredibly rich and mouth-filling wine from a near-legendary vineyard saturates the palate with poached pears, marzipan, vanilla bean and crème brulee flavors, while being subtly lifted by a slice of tangy citrus that keeps it well balanced. Best from 2026–2036. - Jim Gordon, Wine Enthusiast. The 2020 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard is forward and pointed with focused notes of delicate flint, fresh, ripe green apple, and tropical fruit rinds. It has bright and focused energy on the palate, with ripe, crunchy, fresh apples, Meyer lemon, and saline. Drink it over the next 12 or more years.-Jeb Dunnuck. The 2020 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard is mineral-driven and powerful and offers a strong sense of place. Its aromas segue from iodine and saline to creamy citrus. The medium-bodied palate explodes with concentrated, savory fruit and tones of beeswax and flint. Its acidity is racy yet seamlessly integrated, and it has a very long, shimmery finish. It tastes clean and has what it needs to age, but because of the challenges of the 2020 vintage, I would lean toward drinking it on the younger side after a couple of hours in a decanter.-Erin Brooks, The Wine Advocate
