2006 Chardonnay

Winemaker's Notes

The Jekyll-and-Hyde 2006 growing season gave us unseasonably late, heavy spring rains and a scary record-breaking heat wave in early July, before cooling into a mild mannered ripening and harvest period. This perfect weather, from August until the
last Lodi vineyards were harvested on October 13, saved the vintage and yielded outstanding grape quality. The crop was lighter than last year, with small grapes that gave the wines excellent color, tannin levels and concentration of flavor. After a challenging start, 2006 finished as a great vintage.
