Alder Springs Vineyard Grenache 2018 California Red Wine

Product Description

Boonville Road’s 2018 Mendocino County Grenache offers an elegant expression of California’s coastal terroir, crafted to delight both casual sippers and connoisseurs alike. Sourced from sustainably farmed vineyards in Northern California’s picturesque Mendocino region, this wine showcases a refined balance achieved through meticulous early harvesting—a technique prioritizing finesse over bold intensity.

Pouring a delicate light garnet hue, this Grenache greets you with an inviting aroma of ripe strawberry jam, complemented by subtle hints of wild herbs and blossoms. On the palate, vibrant strawberry and raspberry flavors take center stage, wrapped in a silky texture thanks to its gentle gauzy tannins that dance lightly across your senses rather than overpower them. The finish lingers with refreshing citrus notes—a hallmark of Mendocino’s cool-climate growing conditions—that leave your mouth watering for another sip or pairing possibility.

Perfect for those seeking a versatile red wine that pairs beautifully with grilled seafood or herb-roasted poultry without overwhelming lighter dishes, this bottling stands out among Grenaches for its crisp acidity and approachable elegance. At 13.4% alcohol by volume, it’s crafted to shine at any gathering or as an everyday indulgence without heaviness or heat.

Boonville Road’s 2018 vintage exemplifies how intentional farming practices can elevate Grenache into something extraordinary: bright yet complex, refreshing yet layered. Whether enjoyed young or given time to evolve slightly in your cellar (though best consumed within its first few years), this wine delivers exceptional value and character for its category.
