(Wine Advocate Score 92) The 2017 Alesia Chardonnay Anderson Valley has a nose of Bosc pear, red apples, stone, honeycomb and oodles of floral nuance with baker’s yeast and stone fruits. Light to medium-bodied, it's electric in the mouth with lovely fruit layers, tangy acidity and a long, minerally finish. Winemaker Jeff Brinkman says this wine used to be made from purchased fruit. "We no longer purchase any fruit," he explains, "It allows us to make stricter selections for our vineyard designates and make this less expensive wine that's more widely available."

While driving northwest on Hwy 128 through the “Deep End” of Anderson Valley, it is difficult not to be struck by the majesty of Bearwallow Vineyard. After tasting many examples of the elegant, mineral driven Pinot Noir that these “Deep End” hills can produce we were extremely excited to be able to acquire such a prime site in 2008. Unlike our previous vineyard developments, six acres of eight year old Pinot Noir vines had already been planted but we immediately began the development of an additional 25 acres of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. While waiting for our new acreage to become productive, the existing vines have produced the grapes for our Rhys Bearwallow Pinot Noir bottling. While we can’t wait to see what our new vines will bring, we love the wild berry, spicy, mineral driven Pinot produced by the older vines.
