The 2020 Ramey Fort Ross-Seaview Chardonnay presents a luminous straw hue, indicative of its coastal origins. On the nose, it unfurls a sophisticated bouquet of ripe Meyer lemon, white peach, and a whisper of honeysuckle, underpinned by subtle notes of toasted hazelnut and flinty minerality. The palate is impeccably structured, showcasing a harmonious interplay of vibrant acidity and creamy texture, with layers of citrus zest and wet stone. The finish is long and precise, echoing the wine's saline edge and hinting at its potential for graceful aging. This Chardonnay exemplifies the elegance and complexity of Sonoma Coast terroir.

Rubeval
The wine is a masterful blend of refined minerality, delicate oak aging, and a crisp, lively quality that ideally balances the sweetness of pear and green apple, meanwhile a touch of spicy capsicum adds strength and warmth, all set against a soft background of saline and stone notes, with a touch of sweetness from a drizzle of honey.
Aurio
More acidic and dry vintage, with a slightly off-kilter character. The fruit layers are present, but somewhat muted by a lingering effervescence. The corked bottle's gas buildup is a notable issue, detracting from the altogether experience.

I've been eager to try this producer for a long time, and I'm thrilled to have done so. The underlying richness is evident, and it's clear that it's still California. The style is lean and racy, with just the right amount of oak. It's a remarkable selection for those who enjoy Burgundy, and it's an excellent option for anyone looking to try something from California.

Ramey Fort Ross-Seaview Chardonnay is praised for its refined minerality, balanced flavors of green apple, pear, and citrus, and a smooth, elegant texture. While some enjoy its lively acidity and oak influence, others find certain vintages overly acidic or effervescent. The wine's complexity and California character appeal to many, though occasional issues with corked bottles are noted.
