Although still backward, the 2003 Chardonnay Alder Springs Vineyard is a fine white. A liqueur of stone-like character gives this wine presence and nobility. Full-bodied and intense, with notions of citrus oils and tropical fruits along with tremendous purity and crisp acidity, this deep, textured, full-throttle, impeccably-balanced Chardonnay can be enjoyed over the next 3-5 years.
