Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

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 crème brûlée underscoring the wine’s balance between poise and depth. One of our finest Alder Springs Chardonnays ever!

Professional Ratings

  • 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.

One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples. California produces both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines. Somm Secret—The Burgundian subregion of Chablis, while typically using older oak barrels, produces a bright style similar to the unoaked style. Anyone who doesn't like oaky Chardonnay would likely enjoy Chablis.
