If there’s one problem with the Davis Bynum wines it’s the way they get filed in New Jersey. It’s convoluted but stay with me while I peel the curtain back… Wine wholesalers are allowed to file with the state to have a one day sale on a single product. Completely insane but it is what it is.
So once again for one day only (24 HOURS) – we get special access from the winery to sell one of their wines at a glorious price. Today’s deal is flat out ridiculous. I mean really truly. Today, we’ve been given a single-vineyard Russian River Valley Chardonnay made by one of the best American Chardonnay producers ever, David Ramey. That would be great on its own, but I’m not done.
This is his River West Vineyard Chardonnay. Ready for the roll call? It has 91-points and a Wine & Spirits ‘Best Buy’, a James Suckling 92-point score and he called it, “delicate, structured and long.” And last but not least, a rave 93-point review from Wine Enthusiast who deemed the wine, “rich in style yet underpinned by elegance”.

93 Points, Wine Enthusiast
This is a tangy, well-integrated and balanced wine, rich in style yet underpinned by elegance. Green apple, Meyer lemon and wet stone accent a weighty structure, with toasted oak, nutmeg and a slight hint of crème brûlée lingering on the close
92 Points, James Suckling
Aromas of lemon peel, fresh herbs and white peaches. Medium-bodied with good weight and texture. Delicate, but structured and long. Very bright acidity. Drink or hold.

Tense and gingery, this wine’s pear-like fruit has a rainwater clarity. It’s as smooth as river stones and as brisk as the water coursing over them. A youthful 2018 that’s perfect for grilled trout.

The newly released Riesling Feinherb 2021 is a lively, juicy wine with an elegant bouquet of minerals, wet stone and ripe fruit. On the palate, the wine’s slight off-dry component is beautifully balanced by the steely acidity typical of the Mosel. Because this is freshly released, the fruit is vibrant and succulent and it comes in somewhere between off-dry and semi-sweet. It’s a great example of Riesling, especially at the price.
The 2016 vintage in Napa was nearly perfect for winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val). With ideal weather all throughout harvest, he crafted the Faustini Money Road Chardonnay off the famous vineyard located in the coveted Oakville AVA. The picturesque vineyard off Oakville Crossroad is platinum rated, known for its ideal combination of soil & climate and the big A list names that routinely source fruit. Kian’s Money Road Chard is still youthful despite having a few years of age, probably as a result of its 18 months of slumber in 1/4 new Oak.
Stephan Steinmetz is a star in the Mosel wine region. His old vines are rooted in Kimmeridgian limestone, the exact same vein of rock that winds its way from Sancerre through Chablis and Champagne to its final out-cropping here in the Obermosel. His Elbling is glorious — both completely unlike anything I’ve ever had and also eerily familiar. The color is almost clear, some might call it silver. A stunning nose of green apples and lemon peel gives way to fresh pear and bright citrus fruits on the palate. It’s a stunningly focused wine with a healthy dose of minerality and acid zip, not unlike great Sancerre/Chablis and bone dry.
One wine that will never be rated, nor see a top 100 list is the one we have today. That’s not a bad thing – it’s just their ‘secret Chardonnay.’ It’s never released to the general public or retail, only a few hundred cases are made each year to service the restaurant industry. But luckily for us, I’ve got a restaurant. And while the Sonoma Coast bottling is definitely the ‘calling card’ that you’re used to seeing from this great estate, I’m telling you the Russian River Valley Chardonnay blows that one out of the water.
