This interesting monovarietal—another part of Recanati's mostly-realized plan to reinvent itself—has a dark and burnished feel, velvety texture and a reductive touch—a bit of a flinty nuance that winemaker Gil Shatsberg says is typical of the grape.
The 2016 Marawi was aged for six months in 90% used French oak and comes in at 12% alcohol. There was no malolactic fermentation. This shows fine concentration, a lush, velvety mouthfeel and a hint of mushrooms on opening. All good, but I just wanted a little more verve. Retasting it a couple of times more over the next hour showed some. Not that this will ever be a crispy white, but the grip on the finish became more appealing. It acquired a little distinction. This may well be the best yet for the Marawi, but as in the past, let's be a little conservative and see if it can hold and develop. To justify my enthusiasm, it needs to do so. For the moment, let's lean up. It may yet improve.
The 2015 Marawi Reserve was aged for six months in mostly (90%) used French barriques. It comes in at 12% alcohol. This interesting indigenous grape is a bit on the different side, with some hints of musk and maybe a bit of a Chenin character.
