($95):  As much as I love Grgich’s “regular” (though there’s nothing at all regular about it) Chardonnay, this Legacy Selection is just show-stopping.  For all its power and intensity, it is amazingly refined and graceful.  The phrase, “iron fist in a velvet glove,” is usually reserved for red wines, but it is equally applicable here.  The flavors go on and on, but the wine is not heavy and does not tire the palate.  Quite the opposite, the more you sip it, the more you want to come back for more.  A hundred dollars is a lot for a bottle of wine, but this is quite the bottle of wine.
