2001 Marcassin, Three Sisters Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
RP93-95 "The 2001 Pinot Noir Three Sisters Vineyard tastes as if it is a grand cru from the Cote de Nuits commune of Morey-St.-Denis. Sweet black cherries intermixed with autumnal compost and earth notes jump from the glass of this expansive, rich, full-bodied effort. It reminded me of a young 1985 Clos de Tart. The finish is pure cherry liqueur." RP Aug 2022
Marcassin, Three Sisters Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
"Tasting at Marcassin with Helen Turley and John Wetlaufer is one of the more satisfying appointments a wine critic could have. This is commitment to excellence at its highest level. An unwavering, uncompromising brilliance and focus is reflected in not only meticulous work in the vineyard, but also in highly detailed winemaking that consistently succeeds in producing some of the finest Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs in the world. Even more interesting, since they have rarely given interviews, will be the two books that Turley and Wetlaufer are writing independently of each other. They possess an accumulation of knowledge and experience that is, as the advertising industry would say, “priceless.” Hopefully some of that will soon make its way onto the written pages for future generations."
