Marimar Estate Cristina Pinot Noir wine exudes an exquisite balance of intensity and elegance. Originating from California's Marimar Estate, it boasts a luscious, ruby-hued pour. With prominent notes of ripe cherry, raspberry, and black plum, this wine is beautifully interwoven with hints of oak and subtle earthy nuances. The palate experience is equally vibrant, characterised by elegant acidity and structured tannins. Its finish is long-lasting and smooth, making it an enchanting selection for any admirer of sophisticated red wines. This wine, named after the vineyard's owner's daughter, Cristina, is truly a testament to the finesse and quality of the Marimar Estate.

Tasting Notes

This bottling of Cristina exhibits deep, expansive aromas of cherries and black fruits, clove and orange peel. On the palate it opens up with intense, savory flavors: rich and seductive, with great balance between oak, fruit and acidity, refined tannins and solid structure. It will continue to develop for at least another 10-15 years. I would recommend serving it at cellar temperature, between 58-60° F, and it will benefit from decanting

About the Winery

Situated gracefully among green rolling hills of Sonoma County, California, Marimar Estate winery stands as an epitome of world-class viticulture. It aptly showcases the harmonious marriage of old-world Spanish traditions with new-world American innovation and spirit.

Although the estate covers over 30 acres, more than half is dedicated solely to the cultivation of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines. Each vine is cleverly planted, employing the European high-density concept which stresses the vine, enhancing the character and complexity of the wine produced.

Marimar Torres, the brain behind the estate left no stone unturned in ensuring the preservation and expression of terroir in each bottle. She follows organic farming methods and integrates biodynamic practices to ensure that the vineyard stays true to its essence. A natural evolution from organic farming, the idea of biodynamics respects every living being that has a role to play in the vineyard's ecosystem.

Another highlight of the vineyard is its pioneering use of indigenous yeast in fermentation for its Chardonnay, bolstering the wine's authenticity and similarity to its European counterparts.

The tasting room at the Marimar Estate is a delight in itself. The spacious outdoors overlooking the vineyard offer the most exclusive experience to its visitors. The estate conducts guided tours including a taste of their most exquisite wines, complemented by scrumptious local cuisine.

It's worth noting, that Marimar Estate has been a trailblazer in advocating the potential of women in the field of winemaking- a fact that reflects brightly in the perfection that each bottle from the estate emanates.

Marimar Estate winery is indeed, a beautiful blend of tradition, innovation, passion and indispensable quest for perfection that is evident in its breath-taking vineyard, its sustainable farming practices; and without a doubt - its exceptional wine.
