This Chardonnay is exclusive to Ramey; you will not find Woolsey Road Vineyard anywhere else. Owned by the Martinelli family, the vineyard was planted specifically for Dave Ramey at their invitation. They provided them with old Wente cuttings from Hyde Vineyard. Woolsey Road benefits from two greats in the chardonnay world, originating from the Hyde family’s cuttings of Old Wente and farmed by the third and fourth generations of the Martinelli family.  Apples, quince and mineral flavors abound.

Whole grape clusters are pressed for phenolic delicacy. Native yeast and full native malolactic fermentation take place in barrel, with sur lies bâtonnage. After aging 20 months in 20% new François Frères and Taransaud Beaune French oak barrels, the Chardonnay was traditionally fined for clarity and texture and bottled without filtration. "David Ramey has been a trailblazing California Chardonnay winemaker for nearly four decades."

Great flavor concentration and a nicely taut structure define this beautifully balanced wine. It is refreshing and rich at the same time, carrying light lemon zest and green-apple skin accents on a delicious base of quince and Gravenstein apples, while gently coated with subtle shades of toasted oak. Best from 2026-2036.

The 2020 Chardonnay Woolsey Road Vineyard was harvested on August 17th before the wildfire smoke arrived, and with its pure, mineral-driven expression, it's worth cellaring for several years. The nose opens with iodine and nori tones that give way to pretty scents of panna cotta, spring honey and lilac. The medium-bodied palate is buzzing with shimmery acidity that enlivens its perfumed fruit, and it has a long, saline-driven finish.
