Fruit is nice. Delicious early season cherries. Bright. Not very complex. A hint of bitterness. — 2 years ago
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. — 3 years ago
Bold flavors. Beautiful aromatics. Heavy sediment. — 6 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. — 7 years ago
2010. It's a big Pinot but it has aged gracefully and has many years of worthy drinking ahead of it. — 8 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.

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. — 8 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! — 8 years ago
