    San Saba 2005 Chardonnay (Monterey)

    After a very successful '04, San Saba's '05 Chard is a bit of a letdown. It's still very fruity in lemongrass, lime and pineapple fruit, and shows that lovely, crisp Monterey acidity. But it's also too sweet in oaky vanilla, with a sugary, cotton candy finish.
