It was 2001 that Poole Vineyards created this oakey, buttery chardonnay. The plan for this Russian River Chardonnay was for it to be a "classic" Chardonnay. However, somewhere along the way, in fermentation, this wonderful vintage took on, in addition to oak and butter, other surprising tropical and citrus characteristics; the result was a clean bright Chardonnay that is great with just about any meal. Enjoy!
