The story

The story behind Turning Leaf

Turning Leaf comes out of California, made by E. & J. Gallo Winery in Modesto, a name that has been filling American tables since the 1930s. The brand was introduced under the Gallo Family Vineyards umbrella and relaunched as a standalone label in 2009. It is registered as California Table Wine, with grapes drawn from winegrowing regions across the state.

The style is deliberate: fruit forward, aromas of vanilla and brown spice, black cherry and blackberry jam over a smooth, silky mouthfeel with structural oak tannins. The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon took Double Gold at the 2010 Florida State Fair Wine Competition. We have poured it for customers who want a dry red that does not ask anything of them.

Buying guidance

Which Turning Leaf is right for you?

Turning Leaf sits in the value tier, and we price it that way. The Cabernet Sauvignon is $11.99 in both the 750mL and the 1.5L, so the large bottle costs you nothing extra per pour. Chardonnay 1.5L runs $12.49, and the Merlot Reserve and Pinot Grigio 1.5L are $12.99 each. For a dry California red you can open on a Tuesday without thinking about it, that is the whole argument. Buy Turning Leaf online and we will have it ready at the counter.
