2023 Ramey "Rochioli Vineyard" Russian River Valley Chardonnay
96
James Suckling
A laser-focused, nicely lean and precise wine from a great vineyard that was one of Russian River Valley's early chardonnay sites. It holds its crisp green apple and mineral flavors rather tightly now, suggesting a good potential for further aging. Full-bodied. Drinkable now and best from 2030.

Vinous
The 2023 Chardonnay Rochioli Vineyard is a potent, intensely mineral wine, a Chardonnay that captures the personality of this site. Broad and ample on the palate, the 2023 possesses superb textural intensity and the drive to match. Slate, mint, white flowers, chalk and dried herbs linger on the polished, salivating close.

Wine Spectator
A stunning version, with a laser beam of pear, lemon cream and Honeycrisp apple, plus crunchy star fruit, quince, nectarine and lemon salt notes. Accents of lemon verbena, lemon oil, white tea, marzipan and ginger puree linger on the harmonious and complex finish. Drink now through 2039.
