Dark ruby, very fragrant with berries, vanilla and a subtle smokiness. A beautiful wine with a few more years left to age in the bottle. A powerful and elegant wine.
The Alder Spring Vineyards are located in the far northern reaches of Mendocino County, the vineyard sits just 12 miles from the Pacific Ocean. This Syrah is sourced from a blend of the Manzanita, Emerald Pool, and Spirit Rock vineyards, where different clones and rootstock combinations are selected and co-fermented, along with a small amount of Viognier. In 2013, the fermentation included 50% whole clusters, enhancing the wine’s spice and aromatic brightness.
