2006 Ferrari-Carano Chardonnay Alexander Valley

Taste: 5/5
Value: 3/5
Price $25

I can't believe I've had this in my wine collection for over 3 years!  Being a white, I figured it was time to open it up and enjoy.  One of the best Chardonnay's I've had in quite awhile - pineapple, pear, apple and a nice touch of butterscotch.  Wonderful acidity and crispness on the finish.  I would buy a few more if I could find it in the $18 or under range, but there are enough that I like in the under $15 range that it would be hard to justify.  A great value for a gift, however!
