Rodney Strong 2008 Reserve Chardonnay ($35)

There's no shortage of superb Chardonnay from the North Coast these days, but some of them will set you back a pretty penny - often $40 to $60 for some of the better ones. Rodney Stong Vineyards has been delivering some terrific Chardonnays lately, from its basic Sonoma County bottling ($14) to this Reserve Chardonnay ($35). They both have nicely concentrated fruit, good body and moderate oak that fits the fruit flavors well. Made by Rick Sayre with consulting winemaker David Ramey.
