From 2007, one of Sonoma's best vintages in recent history, giving fruit that lends lemon custard, stone fruit, acid and minerality to the wine combined with big notes of vanilla and butterscotch from aging in toasted French oak barrels.  It is a complex and complete style with a long, dry finish.

If Chardonnay is California’s claim to fame, Turning Leaf is the Hollywood star. Winemakers really let the natural fruit flavors come through on this Chardonnay: pineapple, peach, Asian pear. Well balanced with a delicate freshness.

Shows nicely next to exotic Eastern food. Try it with Moroccan couscous or curried Vietnamese chicken.
