After minimal crushing, they fermented in small stainless steel tanks, with no whole clusters. The wine was aged in premium French oak barrels, 40% new, coopered by Remond, Rousseau, Marchive, and François Frères, from the forests of Central France. It was bottled, unfined and unfiltered, in August 2010.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tThe Clones\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tThe vineyard’s 20 acres of Pinot Noir are planted with three different clones. The blend of clones in this vintage is 58% Pommard and 42% Dijon 115.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tThis vintage shows deep, beautiful color and a classic nose of raspberry, with notes of sassafras, sandalwood, and orange peel in the background. On the palate the wine is round and seamless, rich and supple, with great structure and nicely integrated tannins that promise a long life.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\"This is a dazzling Pinot Noir, so gorgeous to drink for its rich, complex deliciousness. Yet appealing as it is now, there are multiple subtleties waiting to be discovered, and the wine has a fine future. Like all of Marimar’s Pinots, it’s a big wine—rich and extracted and dense in weight. The flavors veer towards ripe pomegranates, black cherries and sweet licorice, with hints of dark chocolate, orange peel and even the umami of charcuterie. Despite the weight, it magically remains lithe, like a ballerina leaping into the air. Drink now–2019, as it gradually ages. — S.H.\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t- Wine Enthusiast (July 2013), \u003cstrong\u003e95 pts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marimar Estate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948775469103,"sku":"C0EE333003PNM","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/Marimar_MasCavallsPN_bottle.jpg?v=1771483503","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/marimar-estate-mas-cavalls-pinot-noir-2009","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
