This wine, named after one of France's most famous wine-producing regions, is a blend of five types of black grapes.
Following the 19th century Bordeaux method, it contains a small amount of Syrah.
Compared to the Cabernet series, the flavor is more refined and firm.
After graduating from UC Davis, David Ramey trained at Ch. Petrus in Bordeaux, and after returning to Japan he has used his excellent taste and experience to maintain the quality of top-class wineries such as Matanzas Creek, Chalk Hill, Dominus and Rudd.
In 1996, he started his own winery with his wife Carla, and top-class vineyard owners, who were enthralled by his "magic wand," provided him with the finest grapes, and their wines quickly earned the recognition of being the best in California.
Ramey's style has a unique balance of California-like richness while also having a delicate taste that seeps into the mouth, and the depth that develops after long aging.
David is not only a theorist, he is passionate and uncompromising.
Always questioning conventional wisdom, disliking mediocrity, and continuing to take on new challenges, winemakers under his tutelage are now active all over California.
David's daughter Claire and son Allen have now joined the team to support their father, and they are currently building a new winery by renovating an old building on West Side Road.
A new era for Ramy is about to begin.
