Marino Estates from Charity Wines

Proceeds from Marino Estates, Vintage 13 wines support The Foundation to continue treatment programs, outreach services, scientific research, and independence through transition programs for children and young adults with special needs.

Result: Wine began distribution throughout Florida area stores and restaurants beginning January 2008 and hundreds of thousands of dollars are expected to be raised.

Dark ruby red color, clear yet vibrant bouquet with a wide open range of red fruit touches, from cherry to blueberry. The wood flavor note is quite evident, but well balanced, blended with strong eucalyptus and other herbal hints. Full taste, soft and good persistence of aroma. Lovely straw yellow hues are laced with beautiful golden and greenish reflections. The sweet bouquet is rich and decadent, elegantly perfumed with hints of nutmeg and toasted almonds. This chardonnay has an subtle hints of mild acidity, while retaining its velvety soft harmony. Intense and concentrated ruby red, this wine gives an aroma that conjures up red fruit jams with subtle spicy notes and balsamic traces of ripe blackberries and vanilla oak. The flavor is elegant and vigorous; Brimming with sweet tannins and a rich, smooth, full-bodied finish.
