This wine features a delightful combination of pretty raspberry jam and a rose petal aroma, complemented by flavors of raspberry, plum, and a hint of minerality on the palate. The cooler location of Alder Springs helps maintain high acidity, enhancing the finish, especially considering the lower alcohol content of this vintage.

The 2022 Vintage
2022 was a beautiful year that consisted of a cool spring and summer ending with a heat spike in August to finish ripening the fruit. We had a much later harvest than normal but the long growing cycle allowed us to produce some exceptional fruit!

Alder Springs Vineyard
The Alder Springs Vineyard is located in Mendocino County, 12 miles from the Pacific coast. The combination of coastal influence, altitude, excellent soils and steep slopes make this location unique for growing wine grapes. This fruit is known for a beautiful expression of minerality and balanced, complex fruit flavors.
