Winestyr Review

This is an absolutely delectable cool weather Chardonnay from the famed Alder Springs Vineyard perched high above the Pacific Ocean in rugged Mendocino County. This is nervy wine with some serious brightness and laser-focused flavors of wet river rock and lemon zest. This is a lower-alcohol, mineral-driven Chardonnay that drinks much more like a French Chablis than it's California Chardonnay counterparts. This wine truly expresses the terroir of the Alder Springs vineyard and is drinking beautifully right now.

Wilde Farm Wines

Wilde Farm was a place long before it was a wine. Built in 1907 on the estate of Samuel Wilde, a successful coffee and spice trader, Wilde Farm began as a horse farm, with a generous kitchen garden of vegetables and herbs. Much like its eponymous wine, the house was expertly crafted of honest materials and made to age gracefully. About twenty years ago, Wilde Farm proprietors, Loren and Amy Grossman, took over custody of Wilde Farm. There they raised three beautiful boys, in the only home they have ever known.

This is a great wine.
4 / 5 stars
Loved this wine! I enjoyed it on a 60-degree day on the patio in Chicago and it was perfect. It wasn't oaky/buttery, and had a great minerality and crispness to it that I often miss in most Chardonnays. It was great with food too - we enjoyed it with some light snacks like chips and cheese. It's a great bottle and will definitely be ordering some for my next shipment.
