Grgich Hills Estate, Napa Valley (California) Chardonnay 2013

($43): Grgich Hills Estate consistently produces superb Chardonnay.  And even the release of their super-duper Commemorative bottling has not detracted from their “regular” bottling.  The team at Grgich Hills has managed to combine ripeness with enormous energy in this Chardonnay.  It’s balanced, long and refined, with a hint of spice in the finish.  At $43, it is not inexpensive, but it is still a terrific buy.
