The 2012 Marcassin Vineyard Pinot Noir is a luminous offering that boasts red cherry, raspberry, and floral undertones. The winemaking is meticulous, and the palate perfectly balances bright fruit with nuanced notes of spice and forest floor. The finish is long, making it a memorable experience.

The 2012 Pinot Noir Marcassin Vineyard, which comes primarily from the Calera clone (although I suspect there are a few mystery clones in their plantings), always seems to remind me of a grand cru from Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits, particularly Morey-St.-Denis. Dense ruby/plum, its sweet nose of strawberries, black cherry liqueur, fresh porcini mushrooms and forest floor is followed by a dark, full-bodied, rich and concentrated wine that is supple, dramatic, and even flamboyant. Drink it over the next 12-15 years.
