Wine Advocate Review
Rated 94
The 2014 Chardonnay Alder Springs Vineyard emerges from a high-elevation, 2,600-foot-altitude vineyard in Mendocino. Patz & Hall were one of the first vignerons to exploit this sensational site, which is clearly one of the great vineyards of Mendocino. This wine sees slightly more new oak at 60% new French oak, and offers gorgeously pure citrus oil, poached pear, cinnamon, clove and hints of white peach and pineapple. There is a lot going on in the aromatics as well as the flavor profile of this full-bodied wine, which has dazzling fruit purity, texture and length. The acidity gives it focus and grip. Drink it over the next 5-6 years.
A truly singular and special Chardonnay, this wine reveals a complex nose of peach, cantaloupe, dusty clay and clove. While the palate offers lovely richness and density, it also possesses excellent acidity, which frames intricately detailed flavors of fresh peach, tarte tatin and marzipan. The finish lingers on the palate with hints of green apple and creme brulee underscoring the wine's balance between poise and depth. One of the finest Alder Springs Chardonnays ever!
