The 2022 Belharra Alder Springs Vineyard Pinot Noir is a singular expression of one of California's most exciting and remote vineyard sites. Alder Springs Vineyard, perched high in the mountains of Mendocino County at elevations up to 2,800 feet, offers a growing environment unlike anywhere else in California: dramatic temperature swings, thin rocky soils, and exposure to coastal influences that push the vines to produce fruit of extraordinary concentration and complexity. Belharra captures all of this in the 2022 vintage — a Pinot Noir of remarkable depth, featuring aromas of wild strawberry, pomegranate, dried violets, forest floor, and a haunting savory quality that speaks directly to the Alder Springs terroir.

On the palate, the 2022 Belharra Alder Springs Pinot Noir is both energetic and structured — vibrant acidity and fine, silky tannins framing a mid-palate of real intensity and persistence. This is a Pinot Noir for those who seek something beyond the expected: a wine with a sense of place, a unique story, and the kind of complexity that reveals itself slowly over hours in the glass. Serve slightly cool at 60°F alongside duck breast, salmon with mushroom sauce, or roasted beets and aged goat cheese.
