2012 Ramey Platt Chardonnay

95 points Wine Enthusiast
*Editors’ Choice* Not many producers get fruit from this magical vineyard, sought after for being cool, coastal and meticulously farmed. This wine speaks to all that, offering sublime Meyer lemon, pear and golden honey around a balanced soul and wild ginger-infused intensity. (6/2015)

The 2012 Chardonnay Platt Vineyard wraps around the palate with gorgeous texture and pure resonance. Inviting and layered from start to finish, the Platt impresses for its balance and overall harmony. The flavors are bright, energetic and focused throughout. Lemon peel, white flowers and white pepper all add lift on the expressive finish. (AG) (1/2015)

92 points Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
From the coolest site, the 2012 Chardonnay Platt Vineyard (1,260 cases) possesses a Chablis-like personality of quince, white currants, lemon oil and orange blossom notes, a wet stony minerality, medium body and crisp acids. It should drink nicely for 5-6 years, possibly longer. 92+ (RP) (12/2014)

Jancis Robinson
With mixed citrus cream, intense sea fresh mineral, and lots of fruit flavour with light spice, the Platt Chardonnay carries mouth-watering acidity with a generous palate and ultra-long finish. (1/2015)

Wine Spectator
Raw in texture, with a pithy edge to ripe fig and tangerine notes. The flavors run true and deep, with a long, persistent aftertaste and a touch of tannins. Drink now through 2019. (7/2015)
