Ram's Gate Winery Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay 2021 Review
Carneros is one of the coolest spots in Napa Valley. With its proximity to the San Pablo bay to the south, it enjoys a Pacific influence that leads to deliciously balanced wines, like this single vineyard bottling from the region. The nose is honeyed with a slight floral hint as well as some herbs and ginger. The mouthfeel has a calm, lake-like depth that rests easily on the palate.
