Marcassin Marcassin Vineyard Pinot Noir 2016

Liquid silk meets primal earth in this otherworldly Sonoma Coast expression.

Opens with intoxicating framboise and wild strawberry, then plunges into forest floor mysteries. Black cherry pulp mingles with wet leaves, mushroom soil, exotic spice chest aromatics. Mouth entry pure silk—weightless yet profound. Layers unfold: cranberry tartness, crushed roses, cedar bark, mineral undertones. Tannins whisper rather than shout. Mid-palate builds with earthy complexity—truffle, tobacco leaf, dried herbs. Spice box elements emerge: cardamom, white pepper, cinnamon bark. Finish extends endlessly—fruit, earth, spice dancing in perfect harmony. This 2016 captures Marcassin's legendary vineyard at peak expression. Twenty-year aging potential easily.

🍷 You collect wines that define terroir and want Burgundy's soul in California's body.
