fresh, citrusy, simple, but ripe fruit, unoaked and more enjoyable than the oaked version to me.

the nose is good, ripe tropical expression, buttery but not over the top. The body however is way too leesy for my tastes - like a cream ale minus the fizz.

this is a very forward, new world expression with soft, warm ripe fruit and a little bitterness at the end from the oak. Lots of berries and no structure.

forest floor, wild berry mix, not without personality, but way too soft and forward on the palate.

2010 Marimar Estate Syrah / Tempranillo Don Miguel Vineyard

somehow this wine manages to show both soft fruit, round rich body and mid palate, but also grip and heat on the finish. very unbalanced.
