La masía translates as "the farmhouse," which Marimar Estate was designed to resemble. Medium Ruby with aromas of red fruits, dried herbs and earthy spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with toasty notes and herb cinnamon spice. Full-bodied, fine soft textured tannins, long finish ending with juicy fruit and spicy herb character. Nice!

I would have hated this wine a few years ago, but I’ve learned to embrace some oak in California Chardonnay. Some melon here, citrus, minerals, vanilla, the oak is nicely integrated with the wine, I can dig. Paired with smoked wings.

I love this wine! Savory & crips with notes of baked apple and lemon.

I am usually not a fan of naked Chardonnay but this was very nice. Pale yellow with notes of green apple, lime, pear and honeysuckle. The palate is round and ripe with bright acidity. Flavors of fresh apple, honeydew, key lime and kiwi. The finish has subtle notes of vanilla.

Nose of citrus and florals. Light and smooth. Florals and hint of citrus on palate. Just a great all around Chardonnay from the Marimar wine club!
