Item Description

1 Magnum of Marimar Estate Don Miguel Vineyard Russian River Chardonnay 2006

Wine Spectator 88pts.

As a pure full-throttle Chardonnay, the 2006 Marimar Estate Don Miguel Vineyard Chardonnay pays homage to the late Miguel Torres and the enduring work of his daughter Marimar. Bright and heady with the aromas of tropical fruits, toasted hazelnuts, and burnished oak, this organic Chardonnay bursts with life. Rich and downright sumptuous in the mouth, one could hardly ask for anything more. Full, creamy, and complex in the mid palate, this latest Don Miguel Vineyard Chardonnay satisfies the senses without satiating the palate. Furthermore, it finishes crisp and long with overtones of lemon and custard that linger in the mind as well as on the palate. For optimal enjoyment we suggest serving the 2006 Marimar Estate Don Miguel Vineyard Chardonnay moderately chilled (40º- 45º F).

Marimar Estate is one of the enduring legacies of the late Miguel Torres, one of the 20th century’s most important wine personalities and the vanguard of the oenological renaissance now sweeping Spain. Founded and run with precision by Miguel’s daughter Marimar Torres for whom this California estate is named, the Marimar Estate remains one of Sonoma County’s greatest properties and an advocate for organic viticulture in Sonoma County. The eye catching Marimar Estate is nestled in the rolling hills of western Sonoma County, astride both the Russian River and Green Valley appellations. This site provides the perfect microclimate for growing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Situated only 10 miles from the Pacific Ocean and 50 miles north of San Francisco, the estate’s vineyards are influenced by the sea's cooling breezes and drifting fog.
