Marcassin Marcassin Vineyard Pinot Noir 2002 is a full-bodied red wine sourced from a single estate vineyard on California’s Sonoma Coast. Founded by notable winemaker Helen Turley and viticulturist John Wetlaufer, the Marcassin winery focuses on minimal intervention and low yields. This Pinot Noir is produced exclusively from grapes grown on their 10-acre vineyard, benefiting from the region’s cool maritime climate. Following hand-harvesting, the wine is fermented with native yeasts and aged for approximately 16 months in new French oak barrels. The wine showcases a nuanced profile of dark fruit, earthy notes and a structured finish.

Full, bright red-ruby. Knockout nose of raspberry, flint, spices, licorice and mocha; higher-pitched than the Blue Slide. Then big, broad, spicy and uncompromisingly dry; a voluptuously round, large-scaled pinot that's not yet as flamboyant as the Blue Slide. The most tannic of these 2002 pinots, but the tannins are outlasted by powerful, spicy fruit and mineral flavors. These wines have the texture and weight-not to mention complexity-of grand cru BurgundyStephen Tanzer1st May 2005
