94 RP. "Possibly the best of all of the Under The Wire 2013s is the 2013 Sparkling Pinot Noir Alder Springs Vineyard. This wine moves in the direction of strawberries, cranberries, quince and cherries. Medium-bodied, it displays terrific crispness, plenty of fruit, tiny bubbles and a real vibrancy and energy to its effervescence . . . . These are amazing sparklers, and production is relatively limited, but consumers will love them. These sparkling wines, which are absolutely delicious, are the brainchild of Morgan Twain-Peterson. You would think he has enough to do with his huge portfolio of Bedrock wines, but never a dull moment for this young visionary." Robert M. Parker, Jr., Wine Advocate #227, Oct 2016 |
