Sick of Chardonnay? Try this one......

[Bucko]

2001 Buty, Chardonnay, Conner Lee Vineyard, Columbia Valley, Washington, $25, 124 cases. Pears and vanilla underscore the nose of this light gold Chardonnay. Nicely balanced, with the acidity, pear and citrus fruit, and oak all working in harmony. Kudos go out for keeping the oak in the background where it belongs. 91/92.
