($40): One of the reasons I admire MacRostie’s Chardonnays is that their single vineyard offerings are sufficiently different from each other to make separate bottlings actually meaningful. They are unique wines.  Contrast that approach with wineries whose “single vineyard” bottlings reflect a marketing strategy, not a difference in site. This one from the Wildcat Vineyard in Sonoma Coast delivers a harmonious richness and suaveness and comes across, at least at this stage, as a touch brighter and more elegant than their excellent Dutton Ranch bottling.  In truth, consumers will be happy drinking either.
