Formerly Spirit Rock, The Alder Springs Red Wine Field Blend is named for its place of origin. Located in far northern Mendocino Count, just 12 miles from the Pacific Ocean, the vineyard features a hilly landscape and offers nearly perfect growing conditions: bright sun, cool nights, phenomenal low-vigor soils. 750ml

- wine notes
- Bright and lush, this field blend really showcases and celebrates the lively characteristics of the Grenache grape. Both complex and spicy, this wine is earthy on the nose, giving way to round red fruit flavors of blackberry, with hints of dry fig. Pairs wonderfully with the smokiness of a Lebanese beef kafta, or even dishes with elements of sweetness like a Moroccan couscous with chickpeas and currents.
