2008 Rodney Strong Chardonnay (Chalk Hill)

Wine Enthusiast gives this classy chardonnay a rating of 88 and Wine Spectator rates this vintage an 87.  On a citrus scale this chard gets a, "Holy Shit! I taste lemons!"  Creamy, oh is it fucking creamy!  Oak is very subtle, and if you are like me, this is a good thing.  Over oaked chards suck ass, the wine loses some of the fruit notes.  My only complaint is the acid burn on the finish.  Worth the $15 I gave for the Sonoma County Chardonnay.

Repeat offender: I'd drink it again
