2010 Marcassin, Marcassin Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast

RP95 "The 2010 Pinot Noir Marcassin Vineyard is a slightly tighter style of Pinot Noir, and lighter than the 2009. There is more acidity showing through, the fruit offering up various red and black fruits from pomegranate to plum to cassis, dark sweet cherries as well as foresty underbrush notes. It is developing quickly, without the intensity of flavor of the 2009." RP Aug 2015

Robert Parker writes, "All of these Pinot Noirs trend toward resembling grand crus from Morey-Saint-Denis in Northern Cotes de Nuits in Burgundy, given their forest floor, mushroom, sweet plum, currant and cherry notes. They are very sexy, lush and certainly capable of 10-15 years of cellaring, possibly longer." Published: Aug 27, 2015
