2003 Ramey Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard - USA, California, Napa Valley, Carneros (4/22/2006) WIML94,WA94,NOWS Tasted April 22, 2006 at LilacWine’s house in Fredericksburg, TX. Opened and served immediately in a Spiegelau Authentis Weiss Wein glass. Yellow color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Nose of lemon oil, vanilla, yellow apple and pear. Flavors of pear, yellow apple and peach. Should drink well over the next 4-5 years. Based on an estimated price of $44.00 per 750ml I’d say the value is excellent. (94 pts.)

After all that I've heard on this board regarding the 03' Ramey Hyde I was eager to finally try this and it didn't disappoint. Like WIML, I also got a persistant lemon oil and peach componants. I sensed very little oak with a pleasing minerality which really highlighted the fruit. This bottle started out before dinner and hours later I came back to it to finish with the flavors still pumping through. I must say that I believe this will drink well for a number of years. The RMP and WIML score of 94 pts is right on.

Drinking well now, but the real surprise was after it was open for two days in the fridge...incredible balance and ripe chardonnay fruit with the mineral edge, but so rich and oily on the palate. A great treat and I'm glad I bought more...thanks vinocellar for the tip.
