Alder Springs Vineyard Pinot Noir

Alder Springs Vineyard Pinot Noir Wine Details
Price: $50.00 per bottle

Description: Patz & Hall 2003 Alder Springs Vineyard Mendocino Pinot Noir This marks the seventh release from this remarkable Mendocino site, located at 2,100 feet on the flanks of Cato Peak in northern Mendocino. At this ultra high elevation, the vineyard produces some of the lowest yields we see each year. 2003 was one of the higher acid, more focused vintages in Mendocino, yielding less tannin and a firmer texture, more typical perhaps of Burgundy than California Pinot. Elegant and detailed aromas of black plum and spice mingle with a typically Alder nose of smoke, cocoa, and coffee notes.
