Description

Cruse Wine Co. Alder Springs Vineyard Red is a cool-climate, site-driven wine from Mendocino County in California, produced by the innovative winemaker Cruse Wine Co.. The fruit comes from the high-elevation Alder Springs Vineyard, a remote and rugged site in northern Mendocino known for its diverse plantings, dramatic diurnal shifts, and extreme mountain-coastal influence. The vineyard sits at high elevation (often around 2,000+ feet), producing wines with tension, aromatic lift, and natural acidity.

Winemaker Michael Cruse is known for a minimalist, precision-focused approach—favoring native fermentation, restrained extraction, and transparency of site. While Alder Springs is planted to many varieties, Cruse’s bottlings (often including Syrah, Tannat, or field blends depending on vintage) emphasize purity, freshness, and a distinctly cool-climate Californian expression rather than a Napa-style profile.

Tasting Notes

COLOR:
Deep ruby to dark garnet.

NOSE:
Black cherry, wild blackberry, violet, cracked pepper, dried herbs, crushed rock, and subtle smoked meat.

TASTE:
Medium to full-bodied but lifted, showing juicy dark fruit, savory spice, herbal complexity, and stony minerality with fine, structured tannins.

FINISH:
Long and energetic with lingering dark berries, peppery spice, and cool granite-like freshness.

Food Pairing

Grilled meats: Lamb chops, duck breast, pork shoulder
Earthy dishes: Mushroom risotto and truffle pasta
Herb-driven cuisine: Rosemary chicken and Mediterranean lamb dishes
Charcuterie: Cured meats and aged cheeses
