2005 Pax Alder Springs Cuvée Alder Springs Vineyard

(40% grenache and 30% each of mourvedre and counoise) Dark red. Intensely floral on the nose, with outstanding precision and energy to the vibrant red berry and mineral elements. Crisp and bright, with lively wild strawberry and redcurrant flavors underpinned by a refreshing mineral note. There's impressive lift on the finish, giving energy and vivacity and carrying the juicy red fruit flavors.
