title: Michel-Schlumberger 2001 La Brume Chardonnay (Dry Creek Valley)
description: Dry Creek Chards ask for a certain indulgence. They're never opulent or over the top, and have rather earthy flavors that bring to mind sweet, cured tobacco. This wine, which is a fine example, features winemaker interventions, like lees and oak, and finishes with some tannins. If you're adventurous, try aging it.
variety: Chardonnay
designation: La Brume
