Winemaker's Notes
As a vintage, 1975 produced an exceptional number of outstanding Chardonnays.

Vintage Weather
Cool variable. Very cool growing season.  Some rains at harvest, but not enough to cause much trouble.  Late harvest. Fruit had great balance.  Wines notable for elegance and finesse. 

Tasting Notes
Full straw-yellow color with gold highlights; very clear with thick legs.  Full varietal aroma; good rich Chardonnay and aok nose, with perfume and spice overtones.
