title: Fess Parker 2011 Ashley's Chardonnay (Sta. Rita Hills)
description: Despite the rich, buttery, toasty oak notes, this wine stands up to the barrel influence with its strong tropical fruit and pear flavors, as well as its brisk acidity and stony minerality. It's ready to drink now with rich fare like lobsters or scallops.
