title: Testarossa 2001 Michaud Vineyard Chardonnay (Chalone)
description: This is a big, rich Chardonnay, another monster lineup in Testarossa's single-vineyard series. Shows tightly knit apple and peach flavors very generously oaked, with the requisite additions of smoke, vanilla, and woody spices. There's something minerally in the middle that seems likely to preserve the wine, if you wish to age it. Very fine quality, and a super-good food wine.
variety: Chardonnay
designation: Michaud Vineyard
