| Vintage: | 2014 |

| Description: | A new vineyard designation for us, Platt was plante d in 2003 with first crop in 2006; the young-vine production has been going into our Sonoma Coast appellation bottling. At seven years of age the vines were old enough to make a wine of sufficient density and concentration to merit singling out. Planted to the Wente selection collected from one of our Hyde Vineyard blocks, the rows are densely planted (3' and 4' by 6') on low-vigor rootstock (420A). Located five miles from the Pacific off Bodega Highway, midway between Sebastopol and Bodega Bay, the vineyard sits at 800' on a south-facing slope overlooking the Estero Americano (which funnels cooling marine weather to the Sacramento delta via the Petaluma Gap). This Chardonnay ripens two weeks later than our Russian River Chardonnays, with a lower pH, and the crisp acidity and minerality from this cool site are quite apparent in the wine. Producer Ramey Wine Cellars is dedicated to creating high quality, handcrafted wines with balance and richness from the area's finest vineyards. Our philosophy is our process: It's about respect for the land. Nature guides our process and we listen - closely. It's about terroir. The vineyards are selected for their ability to sustainably produce the highest quality fruit. The soil must be right for the climate, which must be right for the terrain, which must be right for the varietal. It's about harmony - the marriage of Old World methods with New World innovations. It's about a family of wines crafted for the now, but even better with age. Bold, but in check, sensual, these are wines in perfect balance. Ramey Wine Cellars. Guided by passion and a commitment to goodness in the glass. |
