2009 Marcassin, Three Sisters Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
Product Description
Medium garnet in color, smooth and supple on the palate, this is an elegant, delicate style that slowly builds intensity and richness, offering hints of sage, black cherry, candied apple and pretty floral and tealike nuances that pick up a trace of beef carpaccio. Long, focused aftertaste has lots of flavor. Drink now through 2009. 418 cases made. JL
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."
