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.

Only white we sampled from Young Inglewood Vineyards. Creamy light golden yellow. Beautiful nose with creamy and buttery attack, with some hay and a little toasty. Some green apple and citrus undertones. Moderate acidity (7/10) with some tart apples on the attack. Creamy and a little bit of butter in the long finish. Some minerality too. Definitely a full bodied white. Drink till 2022. — 10 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
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
2010. It's a big Pinot but it has aged gracefully and has many years of worthy drinking ahead of it. — 9 years ago
Somm friend said it was bonkers good and that all her natural-wine friends were head-over-heels for this selection. Really juicy red fruit, almost effervescent. Def tastes like a natural wine--maybe some carbonic.
All the good things! — 9 years ago
