Ramey Rochioli Vineyard Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2015 Review
Hello splurge-worthy! Usually with an alcohol percentage this high the boozy burn takes away from the subtleties of the Chardonnay when it comes from this area of the world. This wine shows that this doesn’t always have to be the case. One of the more focused Chardonnays from the Russian River, this wine has a wonderful depth that coats the palate but doesn't skimp on the acidity, which flows nicely through the wine; accentuating the juicey and subtle notes of creamy lemon peel and hints or orange blossom.
