This exceptional wine represents the future of Chardonnay from Alder Springs Vineyard. Perhaps our finest Chardonnay bottling from the 2006 vintage, the 2006 Alder Springs - Mendocino Chardonnay offers beautiful density and palate tension with concentrated aromas of spicy cinnamon pastry, honey, peach and pineapple. Beautifully textured with intricate stone-fruit flavors and extraordinary minerality, this is a benchmark wine from an elite mountain vineyard.
