title: Louis M. Martini 2000 Del Rio Vineyard Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
description: Marked by extreme oak, with charred, vanilla-infused aromas and spicy wood flavors. The underlying fruit is hard to discern under all that wood, but seems to veer toward peaches. Slightly sweet, with good acidity, it will please those who think oak and Chardonnay are synonymous. —S.H.
