Liquid Burgundy dreams transplanted to Sonoma's fog-kissed ridges.
Opens with intoxicating framboise liqueur. Wild strawberries burst forth. Underneath: damp redwood bark, wet granite, decaying maple leaves. This is forest floor poetry. Glass swirling releases exotic spice cabinet—cardamom, star anise, white pepper crackling. Palate delivers shocking concentration yet maintains ethereal lightness. Black cherry cordial flows across tongue. Earthy mushroom undertones anchor fruit. Tannins whisper rather than shout. Acidity cuts clean as mountain air. Finish stretches endlessly—smoky herbs, rose petals, mineral dust. 2015 captured Marcassin's magic perfectly. Fog timing ideal. Helen Turley's final vintage here shows why legends exist. Drink now through 2035. Pure transcendence in bottle.
🍷 You worship at Burgundy's altar but crave California's bold soul.
Pairs with: Duck breast with cherry gastrique, Wild mushroom risotto, Aged Gruyère, Herb-crusted rack of lamb

Helen Turley's cult project. California's most collectible Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Tiny production.
