95 points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "The 2018 Chardonnay Woolsey Road Vineyard was aged 20 months in 25% new French oak. It's a lovely, mineral-driven style, with scents that segue from iodine and dashi to spiced apples and quince. The palate is silky, featherweight and minerally, finishing very long and lifted. 540 cases were made. Drink: 2021-2030. (Jun 2021)"
95 points Wine Enthusiast: "From a site in the heart of the appellation farmed by the Martinelli family, from cuttings that can be traced back to Hyde Vineyard, this white dazzles in salty sea air, oyster shell and hay, with subdued richness and layers of Gravenstein apple and pear. The acidity drives it into a fresh array of tension and texture. Alcohol 14.5%. (Jul 2021)"
94 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "he 2018 Chardonnay Woolsey Road Vineyard is a singular, distinctive wine from a top site in the Russian River Valley. It shows tremendous nuance and character to match its transparent personality. Chardonnays from this part of Sonoma are often more exuberant than this. The Woolsey Road is all class. Drink: 2023-2030. (Jan 2021)"
94 points Wine Spectator: "Crisp and zesty, with a lively mix of green apple, Key lime and fresh-crushed savory spice flavors that are backed by vibrant acidity. Shows light buttery nuances on the intensely spicy finish. Best from 2022 through 2027. 540 cases made. (7/31/21)"
93 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Honeyed lemon, white flowers, brioche, and subtle creamy notes emerge from the 2018 Chardonnay Woolsey Road Vineyard, another rich, medium to full-bodied, wonderfully textured Chardonnay from Ramey. It has good acidity, a more structured, concentrated style, and will benefit from a year or two of bottle age. (7/22/21)"
