  Tightly focused acidity is the star of this well-executed, estate-grown and unoaked white. Floral jasmine and apple blossom ride along the nose, while flavors of lemon peel and apple integrate seamlessly on the rounded palate.

  Given extended time on lees to add richness and texture, this wine succeeds on every level, showing a brightly exotic nose of floral citrus before allowing nuanced layers of spicy nutmeg, grapefruit, fig and fennel to slow dance on the palate. Rich, it retains enough acidity to…

  Given extended lees contact during barrel fermentation to add richness, this wine is rich and incredibly intense, a mix of crème brûlée, brown sugar and hazelnut aromas with a palate satisfying in pear puree. Despite its power and heady qualities, it finds a nice balance in the…

  Not much of this wine is made and that's a shame. A celebration of richness and creaminess on the palate, the wine is given extended lees contact to contribute both texture and complexity. Marked by oaky caramel notes on the nose and palate, the wine also shows minerality and fr…

  This is easily the richest, densest, most complex of Marimar's 2007 Chardonnays. Made with extended lees contact, it has a fleshy, yeasty freshness that gives the wine extra layers. The grape flavors show typical Green Valley long hangtime notes of exotic tropical fruits, aprico…

  Oaky, dry and acidic, this Chard is saved by the ripeness of the underlying fruit, which gives green apple, peach, pear and pineapple flavors. The acidity hangs in there all the way through the tart finish.

  An acidic, minerally Chardonnay showing structure, cleanliness and elegance. Richness comes by way of intense limes, as well as the usual complexities of new oak and lees aging, and there is not the slightest suggestion of sweetness. This is a very pure, Zen-like expression of…
