2009 Bethel Heights Estate Chardonnay – 94 (Best Buy)

Clean, mineral and savory, this pleasingly green-tinged white has just a hint of celery leaf that lends complexity to a dark lees note.  The flavors remain on the savory side, the tone bright, lean and pure, with both the richness and elegance to pair with a classic roast chicken á la Julia Child.
