Marimar Estate Chardonnay Don Miguel Vineyard 2002

Russian River, Sonoma County, California, United StatesThe Torres chardonnay grapes, all whole-clustered pressed, come from the Don Miguel vineyard in the western hills of Sonoma (Russian River, Green Valley) and are a mix of See, Rued and Spring Mountain chardonnay clones. Look for a nutty, creamy lees (all barrel-fermented) nose streaked with baked pear, floral, vanilla and citrus rind. It's soft on the palate with peachy creamy lees and baked apple honey flavours. Intense California chardonnay bordering on the old style.Tasted: 30 May 2006Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
