CHARDONNAY

Turning Leaf Chardonnay

For the 2001 Turning Leaf Chardonnay, we primarily selected grapes from California’s Lodi region for their superior quality. The warm spring and summer days of Lodi’s climate yielded an early harvest.

A light to medium crop produced firm, small berries that were full of varietal character. Our 2001 Turning Leaf Chardonnay expresses itself from these conditions with ripe green apple and pear flavors supported by coconut and butter notes.
