Alder Springs Vineyard Chardonnay

Fabulous. Apparently the only vintage made from Alder Springs Vineyard. Great focus and complexity.

Jan 31st, 2017Fresh citrus fruit, unripe pineapples, ripe pears and melon flavors, framed by fine-tuned oakiness, mineral scents and juicy acidity. A lovely quaffer!

Consistent with earlier bottle...gold in the glass..reticent nose... viscous, almost oily... simple, almost over the top...turning a touch bitter on the finish and falling off after swallow. Reminds me of “old school” California Chard. I stopped purchasing the Alysia Rhys blends...the 2011 displays why.

This bottled seemed to be lacking the freshness and acidity of the others I've had. Enjoyable but somewhat lacking.

5/22/15. Not too much on the nose. Pale in color. Nice palate, balances some acid and minerality with
tasty butteriness. Like a nice Meursault. Still a bit tight.
