title: Thomas Fogarty 2005 Chardonnay (Santa Cruz Mountains)
description: Fogarty's basic '05 Chard shows an exciting crispness and minerality that, good as it is, makes you long for the single-vineyard bottlings to come. There's an elegant angularity to the wine despite the succulent pineapples, kiwis and new oak, and a brisk acidity that makes it finish vibrantly clean.
variety: Chardonnay
