Readers looking for a grand cru Chablis-like white should check out the steely, liquid minerality of the 2000 Chardonnay Martinelli Road. It reveals some tropical fruit notes, but the crisp acidity and high-toned mineral notes make for an intriguing, distinctive, full-bodied, intense Chardonnay. It should drink well for 5-6 years.
