Alder Springs 2013 Signature Chardonnay (Mendocino)

Country: US / California
Variety: Chardonnay
Winery: Alder Springs / Signature

Like a lemon-cream pastry in a bottle, this low-yield, hillside-grown wine has buttery, creamy aromas, rich almond and bright lemon flavors and a soft, nearly sweet finish. Not too full-bodied, it’s a bit lighter in texture than many, because of that fresh lemony acidity to buoy it up.
