($65):  Big bottle.  Big price tag.  Big wine.  Despite the all-around size, it is wonderfully balanced and nuanced, combining richness and verve.  Matanzas Creek, which has been an iconic source in Sonoma County since 1977, notes on its website that they’ve built its reputation on Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot, which is true.  They should probably add Chardonnay to that list, judging by this wine.
