Robert Oatley, Central Ranges (New South Wales, Australia) Chardonnay “Wild Oats” 2012

($13, Pacific Highway Wines & Spirits): Simply put, this is a fabulous $13 Chardonnay. Will it blow you away with depth and complexity? No, but it’s clean and fresh with a delicate hint of creaminess. Its finesse and balance makes it stand apart from most of the sweet and heavy-handed Chardonnay you find at this price.
