Description

2010 Marimar Estate La Masia Don Miguel Vineyard Chardonnay, Russian River Valley

Complex nose with intense citrus and floral aromas of gardenia and honeysuckle, plus a minerality reminiscent of wet pebbles. A note of hazelnut and spice from the elegant oak carries through on the palate. Great balance and mouthfeel, with a lingering finish and long aging potential but delightful to drink right now.

There’s a hard minerality in this Chardonnay, like a lick of cold steel. That, plus the acidity, balances the fine, complex tropical fruits and green apples, as well as the butterscotch spice from oak barrels. The result is a complex wine that’s dry and fairly full-bodied.
