Marcassin Marcassin Vineyard Pinot Noir 2017

Ethereal Burgundian soul wrapped in wild California intensity.

Opens with intoxicating framboise perfume. Forest floor earthiness emerges - wet leaves, cedar bark, wild mushrooms. Black cherry core runs deep. Spice box complexity: cardamom, star anise, white pepper threads. Mouth feel is silken yet structured. Mineral backbone cuts through rich fruit. Tannins refined, never aggressive. Finish stretches endlessly - earth, cherry skin, violet pastilles. This 2017 captures perfect ripeness without excess. Cool vintage shows in the wine's restraint, elegance. Drinking beautifully now but will evolve magnificently through 2032. Helen Turley's legacy in every drop. Pinot Noir as high art.

🍷 You worship at the altar of great Burgundy but crave California's untamed spirit.

Pairs with: Duck confit with cherry gastrique, Wild mushroom risotto, Herb-crusted rack of lamb, Aged Gruyère
