2005 Ramey "Hyde" Chardonnay...$56.99
"A stunning effort, the 2005 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard boasts great intensity along with huge tropical fruit notes interwoven with notions of spring flowers, orange marmalade, white peaches, and steely minerals. Its abundant fruit conceals any evidence of wood. Well-delineated, with outstanding acidity as well as a layered, sumptuous finish, it should age nicely for 4-5 years, possibly longer."
Rated 95/100 The Wine Advocate
2005 Ramey Larkmead Cabernet Sauvignon...$77.99
One of the best vineyard sites in Napa, and a personal favorite.
"The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Larkmead Vineyard (1,360 cases produced from a blend of ($80) Dark red. Intensely perfumed scents of kirsch, blackcurrant, dried rose and tobacco. Round and pliant, with juicy dark fruit flavors, velvety texture and slow-mounting tannins. As big and weighty as this is, there's also excellent balance and clarity. Finishes with lightly chewy tannins and outstanding persistence."
Rated 93/100 Stephen Tanzer, The International Wine Cellar
