Bright and energetic, this Grenache-Mourvèdre blend from Alder Springs and Bedrock delivers impressive depth for an entry-level bottling. Cherry and raspberry mingle with crushed herbs and slate-like minerality. The whole-cluster treatment adds textural interest without masking the wine's inherent freshness. Punches well above its price point.
