    Gallo of Sonoma 2000 Estate Chardonnay (Northern Sonoma)

    Yup, this is a 2000, and it's still fresh and zippy in acidity. It's not a big wine, but a complex, subtle one, with a firm minerality undergirding pineapple and oak flavors. It should hold and improve through this decade, and will be instructive for those who don't know what a good, old Chard can do.
