Under the Wire Alder Springs Vineyard Sparkling Chardonnay 2013

@Chris Cottrell thanks for sending me this fine bottle. Excellent example of the what can be produce from the Alder Vineyard. Love the delicate bubbles, so light. I get a sweet red berry, smoke and a creamy texture. Hints of clove and fruitcake make this finish one to remember. Wonderful.

Interresting sparkling chard in a pure mature yellow apple style, big like!

I mean who can argue with Robert Parker?

Bright, fresh but a touch angular at this stage.

Ben Bradford

Perfectly fine but not much more than that. That said, a good first step for this style to keep improving in CA

Nick Ferrall

Full, rich gold

After pouring a bottle of shite Priorat down the drain and trying to remember who sold it to me so I could curse them, I opened this and suddenly my life was filled with leesy lasers and all the lemon-apple tautness I could handle for one evening.

Lemon curd, waxy lemon and B-vitamin. Strong acidity but lovely texture. Needs time and rating will probably be higher.

First time drinking this & was worried I shd have waited a year or so to open but wow totally pleasing & ready to drink now!! Orchard fruit & hay & toast. Yum! I did save 1 bottle for down the road!

Apple, pear, brioche. Improved with air. V nice but not so sure about QPR?
