but this stays bright and dry in feel overall

Pahlmeyer has long been one of my favorite wineries for both their red wines and Chardonnays

Lafon Rochet - 2016 (750ml) 1977 Incredible SavingsA sleeper of the vintage, the dense blue purple colored 2003 Lafon Rochet exhibits plenty of blackberry, cassis and graphite along with a touch of toasty new oak. The wine is more backward than expected, but it possesses full bodied, concentrated flavors as well as good elegance, purity, and overall equilibrium. This is a long distance runner. Anticipated maturity: 2010 2025. Robert Parker 90+ points
