2012 Maranet Chardonnay, Russian River Valley
The 2012 is a blend of Chardonnay grapes grown in four of DuMOL’s different Russian River Vineyards with a touch of Pinot and Viognier blended in to enhance the aromatic quality of the wine. Hand harvested, whole cluster pressed, and fermented with native yeasts and native malolactic fermentation, the wine shows rich aromas of ripe fig, honeyed lemon and fragrant honeysuckle. Barrel aged sur lie for ten months in new oak adds richness, a mouth-filling texture, and impressive length.

2012 Maranet Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley
The 2012 Russian River Pinot is a blend of free run lots from seven of DuMOL’s vineyards from mixed Dijon, Pommard, and Martini clones. The grapes were hand harvested, sorted in the winery, and fermented with natural, wild yeasts. The wine was then barrel aged for ten months in French oak, 33% new. The wine is a beautiful ruby red with vibrant floral aromas, showing fresh cranberry, cola and cherry at the core. You will taste supple fruit on the entry that expands into chewy summer fruits with a succulent texture that builds into a delightful richness. The wine stays elegant and complex on the finish with bright, well balanced acids.

2008 Maranet Syrah, Russian River Valley
The 2008 Maranet Syrah is a blend of juice from four vineyards, aged for 18 months in 50% new French oak barrels. It is fermented with native yeasts and bottled unfined and unfiltered. The wine is a bright ruby purple in color with intense aromas of violet, plum, black raspberry, soy and just a hint of smoked meat notes. The palate displays a lovely, ripe fruit core of blackberry and boysenberry nicely accented by roast coffee and dried thyme, which complement the velvety mid-palate, balanced tannins and supple finish. This wine shows remarkable balance and has both power and refinement while staying fresh and vibrant from the first sniff to the last sip.
