Marcassin Marcassin Vineyard Pinot Noir 2009 is a medium-bodied single-vineyard Pinot Noir from the Marcassin estate on California`s Sonoma Coast. Founded in 1991, Marcassin (French for ‘young wild boar’) is a small winery that focuses solely on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Having worked or consulted for some of California`s finest wineries (eg, Peter Michael, Colgin and Bryant), the talented owner/winemaker, Helen Turley, is one of the most influential figures in Californian wine. "The 2009 Pinot Noir Marcassin Vineyard is a gorgeous, clearly California version of a Grand Cru from Burgundy, such as Clos Saint-Denis or Clos de la Roche. This deep plum/garnet-coloured wine offers intense berry fruit along with forest floor, spice box, earth and loads of plum, cherry and strawberry notes, moving toward darker fruits, as well as earthy, autumnal, foresty scents. The wine is full-bodied, with great intensity, sweet tannins and good acidity." Wine Advocate, 2015
