David Ramey is one of the few producers in California that excels with all of the main varieties. The wines are generally rich and luscious, but in recent years some of that has been dialed back, most notably on the Chardonnays. There are plenty of highlights in this range, including the Chardonnays, which are terrific in 2017. As always, Ramey favors a more Burgundian approach to aging, with longer time in barrel than is typical in California. Readers should also take a close look at the Claret and Napa Valley Cabernet, both of which offer fine value in today's world.

The 2016 Chardonnays are a highlight in this set of new releases from David Ramey. As always, Ramey also presented a few older vintages, which show just how well the wines can age. Ramey picks a bit earlier these days, which gives his wines an extra kick of freshness that works beautifully to complement the intensity of the flavors he coaxes from a number of top sites

As always, my tasting with David Ramey covered a wide range of wines from both Sonoma and Napa counties. The 2014 Chardonnays are a bit more reticent than they usually are at this stage. I am not sure if the wines are going through a closed phase, or if the decision to pick a bit earlier than in the past has resulted in Chardonnays that are a bit shy in the early going. Regardless, in this tasting, the 2014 Chardonnays are a bit muted. The Cabernet and Cabernet-based wines are also quite strong, especially in 2014 a Napa Valley vintage I think will surprise a lot of people down the road. Most of the Syrahs I tasted had not been bottled, while the nascent Pinot program is a work in progress. In my view, those wines will never be as interesting as they could be with the existing fruit sources. Lastly, there will be no more wines from Platt, as Ramey, like all of his colleagues who were in that vineyard, have moved on.
