Ramey’s 2007 Syrah Shanel Vineyard, which includes 7% Viognier, possesses an explosive bouquet of blackberries, bacon fat, lychee nuts, and honeysuckle. The complex, Cote Rotie-like aromatics are followed by a meaty, full-bodied wine with silky tannins, enormous purity and depth, and stunning overall complexity and richness. This superb effort may turn out to be Ramey’s finest Syrah to date.(Not yet released)David Ramey’s Healdsburg operation is becoming bigger and bigger, as evidenced by his 60,000-case production in both 2006 and 2007. However, quality continues to be exciting, offering a broad array of Chardonnays, Cabernet Sauvignons, and more recently, a handful of Syrahs. The entry level Chardonnays include three generic appellations, Carneros, Russian River, and Sonoma Coast. All three need to be consumed sooner rather than later. The three single vineyard Chardonnays are all from top sites, the Hudson and Hyde vineyards in Carneros, and the Russian River’s Ritchie Vineyard. Production is much smaller for these cuvees, from just under 1,400 cases for the Hudson to over 2,500 cases for the Hyde.Tel. (707) 433-0870; Fax (707) 433-0871
