Burgundian soul meets California power in this ethereal mountain Pinot.

Ethereal framboise lifts from the glass. Forest floor complexity builds—wet leaves, mushroom, cedar bark. Black cherry core pulses with mountain intensity. This 2013 captures Marcassin Vineyard's brutal beauty perfectly. Palate shows silk wrapped around steel. Earth-driven minerality threads through each sip. Spice box notes emerge—cardamom, white pepper, dried herbs. Tannins whisper rather than shout. Finish extends endlessly, waves of cherry and earth. Helen Turley's vision realized in liquid form. Drink now for primary fruit or cellar fifteen years. Greatest American Pinot from greatest vintage. Pure liquid poetry.
