Solid “Baby Amarone!” Dark purple color. Aromas and flavors of ripe dark cherry, cranberry and strawberry fruit with additional notes of forest floor, baking spices and purple flowers. Smooth texture with a silky and juicy finish. Full bodied and rich. Thanks for sharing, Keith S! — 7 days ago

@Delectable Wine : This is the new Ultramarine Michael Mara Vineyard Blanc de Blanc. I didn’t see it in the database.

I normally hold my Ultramarine a few years after release, but wanted to see how this new vineyard offering showed alongside the same vintage Charles Heintz BdB. Our group also opened a 2012 Ultramarine Charles Heintz BdN late disgorged.

Traditionally, I’ve found the Charles Heintz to show the classical vineyard expression of pure and ripe fruit, a small amount of oxidation of the fruit, and a distinct cream soda note. With that being said, the Michael Mara was quite different. Aromatically, it comes across like ripe Chablis. Much more lean and bright on the palate. Little bit of flint, lots of ripe lemon, Granny Smith apple, and a mineral/stony quality. Zippy acidity but the finish does pack a punch. Just like the other Ultramarine wines, this absolutely sports a great grower champagne vibe. — a year ago

Wow! Awesome bottle/wine! Lovely gold color. Butter, minerals, Meyer lemons, camomile, and melons on the nose. Same on the palate with a refined texture and massive depth. Super complex wine that could go toe to toe with high-end White Burgs!! Prime drinking age, sad it’s my last of this vintage.

I thought this started to get overpriced, I am dead wrong!! Worth every penny!! — 3 months ago

Not sure it’s the correct vintage, but it was interesting and delicious. Even Mara found herself liking it. — a year ago
