Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2011 Marcassin "Marcassin Vineyard" Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir (92RP, 91WS). Wine Advocate: "The 2011 Pinot Noir Marcassin Vineyard has sweet berry fruit, roasted herbs, incense, a touch of background wood spice and foresty notes all present in this medium-bodied, slightly lighter style of Pinot Noir from Marcassin. This was a challenging vintage, but the wines turned out outstanding, and very Burgundian. The alcohol is 13.9%, which is one of their lowest sugar levels. The wine presents a very attractive, moderately intense perfume, good acidity and excellent precision. (RP)" (08/2015)

Marcassin Vineyard is one of California’s most iconic cult wine estates, founded by the husband-and-wife team of Helen Turley and John Wetlaufer. Perched on a remote ridge close to the Pacific Ocean, the estate vineyard is shaped by extreme coastal conditions, including persistent fog, strong maritime winds, and exceptionally long growing seasons that yield Pinot Noir of remarkable intensity and precision. Marcassin’s uncompromising focus on low yields, meticulous farming, and extended élevage has produced some of California’s most sought-after Pinot Noirs, with the estate bottling representing a singular expression of Sonoma Coast terroir that balances power, texture, and extraordinary aging potential.

Wine Spectator
“Offers a distinctive cloak of smoky, toasty oak, with mature, medium-weight notes of cherry-scented herb, beet root and savory underbrush. Gains depth and nuance on the aftertaste, lingering pleasantly. (JL)” (04/2017)
