From the renowned Durell Vineyard in Sonoma, the 2017 Ram’s Gate Chardonnay captures the essence of its terroir with remarkable finesse. Scoring an impressive 95 points, this wine showcases vibrant notes of ripe pear, lemon zest, and a subtle hint of toasted almond, all beautifully integrated with a creamy mouthfeel and refreshing acidity. The complexity is further enhanced by a whisper of minerality, reflecting the vineyard’s unique soil composition. Ideal for a sunny afternoon gathering or paired with roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables, this Chardonnay not only delights the palate but also represents a fantastic value, delivering quality that far exceeds its original price tag.
