title: La Rochelle 2010 Ferrington Vineyard Chardonnay (Anderson Valley)
description: Comes down on the austere side of Chardonnay, trading the modern flashy style for a sober, streamlined wine. It's bone dry and bright in acidity, with lemon, lime, honey and mineral flavors, touched with sweet oak. Expensive, but elegant and complex. Will challenge sommeliers to come up with the perfect pairing. Consider shellfish first.
