and then some

mineral-accented citrus fruit and red berry aromas

Ridge enjoyed what I can only describe as a sensational vintage in 2013

2013 Ramey "Hyde Vineyard" Carneros Chardonnay and then someThe 2013 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard is one of the richest, most powerful Chardonnays in the range. Here it is the wine's phenolic and sense of vertical structure that stand out most. Even with all of its obvious richness and heft, the Hyde preserves remarkable freshness. Dried herbs, orange peel and buttery notes add nuance on the large scaled, ample finish. (AG)
