Ramey's remarkable string of successes in 2009 continues with this very bright and vibrant young wine, and, while sporting a bit of immediate fruit in league with its generous oak, this is a com-pact, very deep, close-to-nervy Chardonnay whose tighter construction and sense of unrealized potential makes it one of the more age-worthy of the bunch. It is certain to find increased polish and complexity with time, and it deserves to be set aside for at least two or three years.
