Haywood 1997 "Vintner's" Chardonnay ($10) This one is also available in the two-bottle (magnum) size for even greater savings. Really attractive aromas of melon and tropical fruit come through in the taste as well. It's one of those wines where the first glass begs the second. Very pleasant, but not overwhelming, oak vanillin after flavors. Case purchases highly recommended. Rating: 87/94
