Score 96/100 · Drink 2021-2030, Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate, Jun 2021

The 2016 Sparkling Chardonnay Alder Springs Vineyard is the Under the Wire bottling that is most reminiscent to Champagne, with toasty, creamy, brioche-laced fruits on the nose. The palate is lush and creamy, with flavors of warm croissant, baked pears, white flowers and cream that shift and evolve in the mouth. It offers incredible amplitude and layering and will have a long life ahead in the cellar.

The 2016 Chardonnay (Sparkling) Alder Springs Vineyard bristles with energy. A whole range of citrus, floral and savory nuances races out of the glass. One of the best wines in the range, the Alder Springs stands out with its striking tension and feeling of transparency that is immediately captivating. Superb.
