Terminim Alder Springs Vineyard Cepages d'or 2017 (750ml) San Francisco BayThe 2017 version of Cpages d'Or is 66% Marsanne 34% Roussanne picked separately and barrel fermented in 1 year old French oak barrels using exclusively indigenous yeasts. The 2017 version has revealed the brilliance of the Alder Springs Vineyard site with reverberating aromas of pear and apple backed up by a mineral floral note. It remains bright and fresh. Drinkable now it should shine for many years to come. Wine Enthusiast WE94 A collaboration

leaning toward dark fruit

colors and flavors associated with the Paso Robles region

In the glass you get a richly nuanced and aromatic glass of Pontet

quince and star fruit dance across the tongue with hints of spearmint

mainly black fruit tinged with spice

with compelling aromas of black cherry

mellow and velvety wine

complemented by notes of toast and humus

It's a brighter

with a fresh acidity

and a hint of saddle leather

lightly toasted with well-integrated tannins and a complex long finish
