Alder Springs Vineyard Chardonnay
Think I bought this from Rhys? Going to drop another #delectable truthbomb here. This wine...It’s so reductive that when I passed a glass of it to a friend at the bar this evening, they dropped a penny in it. Ouch, embarrassing. For me. And them...

Feb 21st, 2018This is very different CA chard. All the comments about tropical fruit are right on. Acid is pretty mild. There is a nice creaminess in the mid-palate that I think comes from some malo, I dont get any vanilla notes from oak. A nice change of pace that I think will be more interesting in a few years.

Jun 14th, 2017Better than the first bottle. But still, ripe and tropical with a bit more "minerality"

Dec 26th, 2016Had to keep coming back to this over a 72 hour period. Ripe, tropical and almost ZERO acid. Not good, wet cork, I've got 3 bottles to trade if anybody wants them @Jean-Francois Pelletier

Nov 8th, 2016Lemon and minerals with just a dash of wood, nice tartness and elegance. It fills out with air and becomes a lot like a baby Ramonet.

May 23rd, 2018Haven't had too many Mendocino Chardonnays, and this one will keep me looking for them. Good balance between fruit & acid.

Mar 12th, 2017Lemon color. Green apple, lemon, a bit of tropical fruit and slight yeast. Mellower than the Alpine, with laser sharp acidity. Long finish. Great value from Rhys. Wish I bought more. Very nice white in the Old World style.
