Quickly opened up and within 20min sourness of Chardonney balanced out and taste was rich deep and strong. Plenty of fruits, even level to sweetness.
It smells like Lemon, Orange, Herbes de Provence, and Lavender.
The body is Medium/Full.
The wine is textured Round.
The wine finishes Long. (3150 views) | | | Tasted by empire80 on 7/8/2011 & rated 90 points: As before, rich and buttery. (3221 views) | | | Tasted by empire80 on 6/12/2011 & rated 90 points: Really enjoyed this - well balanced, mature but not over the hill, really round and rich mouth feel. Very good value at this price (£80 for 6). (1109 views) | | | Tasted by peblin on 3/22/2011 & rated 92 points: Full bodied, lots of mineral. Not entirely unlike an oaked chablis grand cru. Ripe, yellow fruit and elegant oak - not overdone. Surprisingly light in the mouth but a little bit too high in alcohol. (1155 views) | | | Tasted by Niagara on 10/13/2010: Getting old!! (1468 views) | | | Tasted by sonadora on 4/14/2010: On the nose I got caramel, vanilla bean, vanilla, spice, pear, honey, apple, and toasty oak. In the mouth, the fruit came out of hiding with apple, pear, tropical notes, and toast rounding out the palate. Although the oak was there, this was no butter bomb. It had great acidity that kept all the flavors in check and was more like an apple crumble in a glass. (811 views) | | | Tasted by winegr on 3/15/2010 & rated 89 points: Really hedonistic, but light to no oak. Malo. Lots of honey, apple, peaches. I could use more acidity. Reminded me of a white burgundy I had recently that had a hint of botrytis. quite good for hedonism. (1426 views) | | | Tasted by Niagara on 8/26/2008 & rated 89 points: Crisp, refreshing, unoaked yet unctuous, with enough body to pair well with roasted pork tenderloin. (1538 views) |
| Marimar Estate Producer websiteChardonnay The Chardonnay GrapeUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Sonoma CountyMendocino CountyRussian River Valley Russian River Valley Winegrowers Association | Wikipedia |
