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.
