David Ramey is the winemaker’s winemaker! Quite literally -- his Chard is on the cover of the latest Wine Spectator calling him “Professor Chardonnay”. We’ve been saying this since probably 2001 or so! The ‘15 is just a mind-blower -- we’d love to put it up against some $100+ Burgundy...maybe tonight come to think of it!
96 points, great price and just smashing juice -- fine, intense, layered, with racy, crisp acidity and crazy-complex flavor. We had to sample this bad boy right away and we were so blown away, we forgot to shoot the bottle first! Killer reviews -- some snippets...”rich, intense, full-bodied Chardonnay offering loads of tangerine oil, spice, and honeysuckle...wonderfully sexy nose of exotic spices, honeycomb and pear tart with suggestions of jasmine, brioche and nutmeg. Full-bodied, rich and seductive in the mouth, it has a compelling oiliness to the texture and loads of spicy accents, finishing with fantastic length and depth...tastes complete and complex, with undeniable richness and concentration.”
PLEASE don’t miss this blockbuster. $59.95!

Wine Enthusiast
This is a Martinelli family-farmed site, a mark of excellence and history that's hard to beat. Floral and textured, it is marked by bright focused acidity around a core of textured baked-apple flavor and hazelnut creme brulee. It tastes complete and complex, with undeniable richness and concentration.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2015 Chardonnay Woolsey Road Vineyard has a wonderfully sexy nose of exotic spices, honeycomb and pear tart with suggestions of jasmine, brioche and nutmeg. Full-bodied, rich and seductive in the mouth, it has a compelling oiliness to the texture and loads of spicy accents, finishing with fantastic length and depth.

From a site just south of River Road, behind Martinelli on a north facing slope, the 2015 Chardonnay Woolsey Road Vineyard is another rich, intense, full-bodied Chardonnay offering loads of tangerine oil, spice, and honeysuckle. It has bright acidity and a clean vibe, but packs beautiful fruit.
