I've tasted this vineyard before from Marimar Estate and have felt significant differences in style, Marimar feels like it has more body, mature red fruits and sweet spices with a wonderful long finish. Alma Fria style which is also fantastic, expresses more like a mix of Fresh and Hints of mature red fruits mixed also with sweet spices and a wonderful long balanced mineral finish. I would like to retaste both Wines again later this year. — 10 years ago

Barnyard, cherries, pie crust, red currant with layers upon layers on the lifted nose. You could just sit and smell this wine and be satisfied. Smokey cedar with juicy red fruits on the palate. Rich and smooth with balance and finesse. Excellent Pinot! — 10 years ago
Reserve, but only a touch more complex than la masia — 6 years ago
Light golden in color with greenish highlights. Green apple, lemon, white peach, honeysuckle, and modest new oak on the nose. This is a balanced, mid-weight Chardonnay with plenty of freshness, acidity, and minerality on the palate. — 7 years ago
Showing very well out of the gate. Lots of exploding fruits like black cherry but still showing secondary flavors of savory spices and organic earth. Showing nice acid and a silky finish. — 9 years ago
This wine is luxurious and sumptuous. So smooth and wonderful dark cherry notes with the right amount of spice. — 10 years ago
