Gorgeous new wine by Marcassin.

Marcassin

October 12, 2022

One of the famed houses in Sonoma who is known for their late release wines, Marcassin began back in 1991. Founders Helen Turley and her husband John Wetlaufer debuted with their ‘Upper Barn Vineyard’ Chardonnay and their wines were met with immediate critical acclaim.

Marcassin wines were first made at Martinelli winery before moving to their own space in Windsor, California. Helen has been consulting winemaker at Helen has been the consulting winemaker at Colgin, Bryant Family, and Martinelli.

Her wines for Marcassin are extraordinary and I loved her new 2013 Marcassin Chardonnay (OB, 95) which is rich, viscous and beautifully textured, showing a weightless character. These are wines that are costly but are worth the splurge. Hats off to Helen Turley for creating another incredible new release and here is my review of the new Marcassin Chardonnay.

2013 Marcassin ‘Estate Sonoma Coast’ Chardonnay- The 2013 Marcassin ‘Estate Sonoma Coast’ Chardonnay is dense and delicious without coming off heavy. Once on the nose this takes on layers of toasty oak, buttered brioche and vanilla cream alongside salted Pink Lady apple and shades of wild mushroom. The palate is rich and viscous with a great underlying acidity — and formidable length. A complete wine, enjoy now and over the next five to seven years. Drink 2022-2029- 96
