After minimal crushing, they fermented in stainless steel, with no whole clusters. The wine was aged in premium French oak barrels, 33% new, coopered by Remond, Rousseau, Marsannay, Mercurey and Marchive from the forest of Bertranges. It was bottled, unfined and unfiltered, in August 2011.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eThe Clones\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tThe six clones planted in the vineyard’s 30 acres of Pinot Noir yield wines with complex layers of flavors. The blend of clones in this vintage is 22% Swan, 21% Pommard, 21% Cristina 88, 19% Dijon 115, 10% Dijon 667, and 7% Lee.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tThe aromas reflect the classic Russian River\/Green Valley fruit: dark berries, sassafras, and a hint of orange peel. On the palate the wine has great concentration of flavors but it is supple and silky, with notes of clove and cinnamon plus a trace of peat and forest floor. Perfect balance and roundness that augur a long aging potential.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e\"The 2010 Pinot Noir Don Miguel Vineyard La Masia Unfiltered’s red apple skin, cherry, plum and foresty notes are very premier cru Cote de Beaune-like. In the mouth, broad, savory, medium-bodied flavors reveal excellent softness as well as enough definition and freshness. This is a dead-ringer for some of the premier cru Cote de Beaunes from Louis Jadot and Joseph Drouhin I used to drink when they were inexpensive and widely available in the late seventies and early eighties. This wine has enormous charm, so enjoy it over the next 5-6 years. - RP\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003e- Wine Advocate (Issue #210, December 2013), 90 pts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marimar Estate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948805419055,"sku":"C0EE333010PNM","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/Marimar_MasiaPN_bottle.png?v=1771483872","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/marimar-estate-la-masia-pinot-noir-2012","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
