Tasting a bunch of ‘15 Napa Chards recently. This is middle of the road. Restrained across all facets, but what did come through was great! Similar to the ‘15 Matthiasson Mara Chard but dialed back a bunch. — 4 years ago

Bold flavors. Beautiful aromatics. Heavy sediment. — 7 years ago
Baked fruit on the nose with a slight tartness: apple, pear cobbler. Meyer lemon. Candied lemon. Orange rind. Stone fruit, too. Slightly nutty in the palate and a nice delivery of mineral - bitter finish. Moderate+ acid, moderate alcohol. Fresh, young, and easy drinking. — 9 years ago
This is a fantastic old vine zinfandel! Wasn't familiar with the vineyard but would absolutely get something from Mara in the future! Bold, black fruit flavor that won't double your check.

Fruit is nice. Delicious early season cherries. Bright. Not very complex. A hint of bitterness. — 3 years ago
Rustic, old world red. The nose shows leather, crushed cranberry, eucalyptus, cigar box, and menthol. The palate is dry with tobacco, leather, dried cranberry, cherry reduction, new oak, sage, and plum. Medium tannins, medium minus alcohol, and medium plus acid. Despite its age, it needs decanting or at least sitting in the glass for a while. Tart, dry, and well balanced. This is a fantastic value wine. — 5 years ago
At house of Mara and Nicola. Big fruit/oak corposo but short lasting. Very good even with spaghetti clams and mussels. — 7 years ago
These Mont Redon Chateauneufs are killer candidates for cellaring. 1993 and impeccably balanced and fresh. A bouquet of first aromatics (mara des bois) mixed with Provençal herbs and sous bois. — 8 years ago
Sweet and spicy full-bodied Rioja with strawberry notes and a dry finish. Nice choice at Mara, Mpls. — 3 years ago
Aniversário da Mari em 2019. Excelente vinho!!! — 7 years ago
And earthy almost unbaked biscuits smell comes off of this wine. Very cool and smooth with muted tannins and flavors. Easy on the front of the tongue but with well structured fruit on the back. Not jammy, not overly ripe, earthy and smoky notes to it. Really fantastic wine for the price! — 8 years ago
2010. It's a big Pinot but it has aged gracefully and has many years of worthy drinking ahead of it. — 9 years ago
