Ramey, Template Brut Zero Like several of the wines

Like several of the wines in the range this possesses enough dry extract such that it will be approachable young but should also repay mid-term cellaring

with silky layers of fruit that emerge gracefully from its mid-weight frame

that the wine was expressive and open from day one and that the fermentations were smooth

You need to have tasted some young

This too is going to need at least a few years to unwind and better flesh out

Ramey, Template Brut Zero Like several of the winesThe 2017 Template is 70% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Franc, and the remainder Cabernet Sauvignon. Red and black fruits on the nose as well as hints of cocoa powder and sun dried hay are followed by a forward red with tannic structure and depth, although it retains the freshness of its fruit. Allow for 2 4 years of cellaring and enjoy 2024 2036.
