2021 Pinot Noir Alder Springs Vineyard Mendocino Produced by Dan RicciatoABOUT THE VINEYARD Tucked into the rugged hills of northern Mendocino County, Alder Springs Vineyard is a winegrower's dreamscape, where steep slopes, cool coastal breezes, and fractured sandstone soils come together to create magic in the bottle. Owner Stu Bewleys bonsai approach means each vine is obsessively hand tended, with most of its fruit dropped to concentrate flavor. The result is tiny yields, and intense character.
