Malmsey
Filter
Malmsey is the term for a Madeira wine created from the Malvasia grape variety. The term Malvazia includes a cluster of grape types that are grown in the Mediterranean, Canary Islands, Madeira Islands, and Balearic islands. The terms of wines created with the Malvazia variety are often referred to with a variety of names including Malvasia, Malvazia, and Malmsey. The grape types are used to create white and sometimes red wines, although the red wines are produced very sparingly. The Malvasia term is said to have come from Monemvasia, which is a Venetian fortress that is known in Italian under the term Malvasia. The fortress would have been a center for traders and Venetian traders were so apt at trading the wine that wine shops in the region were called malvasie. Another suggestion said the wine was named after a district called Malevizi. The red grapes of the variety produce light pink to red color wines. Malvasia wines are typically heavy bodied while young and other wines created from the type, such as fortified wines, contain nutty flavors. Malmsey refers to a sweeter version of the Madeira wine and confused many when the term started to refer to any sweet wine from the region, regardless of variety type.

The Marjorie vineyard sits in the center of the Cristom Estate with a gentle slope from 480 feet to 600 feet over some of the most consistent volcanic soils on the entire Estate. A little bit unique to itself, most of the Vineyard is planted over a moderately deep volcanic soil with some very rocky areas in the north and southeast corners. The vineyard wants to produce elegant wines of finesse with bright red fruit and succulent acidity.
Review:
Dark ruby, the 2021 Pinot Noir Marjorie Vineyard takes on a darker mineral profile with forward aromas of wet stone, black raspberry preserve, and layers of baking spices and crushed purple flowers. Moving to the palate, the wine is medium-framed, with ripe tannins, an angular texture, fresh acidity, and a spicy finish. This certainly needs more time and will gain complexity with time in cellar.

Darkly alluring, the 2021 Pinot Noir Marjorie Vineyard is perfumed with dusty violets and lavender, giving way to dried black cherries. Luxuriously round, with juicy acidity, this cascades across the palate with crisp raspberry fruits as rosy inner florals amass toward the close. Hints of blood orange pucker the cheeks as the 2021 finishes staining and long with long lingering chalky mineral tones.
