Founded in 1991, Marcassin (French for ‘young wild boar’) is a tiny winery located on the Sonoma Coast that focuses solely on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Having either worked or consulted for some of the region’s finest wineries (e.g. Peter Michael, Colgin and Bryant), the supremely talented owner and winemaker, Helen Turley, is considered to be one of the most influential figures in Californian wine. The 1999 is a beautifully mature with strawberry and cherry character, good acidity and well integrated tannins.
Vinous
Medium red; like the Blue-Slide Ridge, a bit dull. Distinctly oxidative nose dominated by smoked meat, maple syrup and nutty oak. Thick, silky and large-scaled but tired, with broad flavors of spice cake and maple syrup. Tastes like a very old Burgundy. (A second bottle was distinctly dry-edged on the finish.) These two '99 pinots, unmanipulated and alive with micro-organisms, may well have been bottled with insufficient sulfur.Stephen Tanzer1st May 2004
