Chardonnay

2017 Lodi Chardonnay

The Thomas Allen Chardonnay, a delightful offering from the Lodi region, showcases the elegance and versatility of the Chardonnay varietal. With a radiant pale yellow hue, this wine entices with vibrant aromas of ripe pear, crisp green apple, and subtle hints of citrus zest. On the palate, it presents a refreshing, medium-bodied experience, balancing bright acidity with a fruit-forward profile that maintains a pleasing roundness. The oak influence is expertly integrated, providing a touch of vanilla and a creamy mouthfeel without overwhelming the fresh fruit characteristics. This Chardonnay is a wonderful choice for those seeking an accessible, yet refined white wine that pairs beautifully with seafood, poultry, or light pasta dishes. Its overall deliciousness ensures it shines as a crowd-pleaser at any gathering.

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
