2007 Marcassin Pinot Noir – Sonoma Coast

The 2007 Marcassin Pinot Noir from Sonoma Coast is a superb example of Helen Turley’s dedication to producing world-class Pinot Noir. This vintage showcases the depth and complexity expected from Marcassin, known for its meticulous vineyard management and limited production.

Tasting Notes:

Aromas of ripe dark cherries, wild raspberries, and a hint of earthy forest floor. The palate reveals layers of black tea, rose petals, and a touch of spice, with finely integrated tannins and a long, elegant finish.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details:

Aged for 12 months in 100% new French oak, this Pinot Noir is sourced from the **Marcassin Estate Vineyard** in Sonoma Coast, where cool-climate conditions allow the grapes to ripen slowly, resulting in exceptional flavor concentration.

Producer Background:

Marcassin Winery, founded by Helen Turley and John Wetlaufer, is recognized for producing highly collectible Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The estate’s focus on low yields and vineyard precision has established Marcassin as one of California's most prestigious producers.

Vintage Specifics:

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

(Rating 98+) I had always believed the 2007 Pinot Noir was the finest Helen Turley and John Wetlaufer had produced at their Estate Vineyard, but after doing this vertical and seeing the performances of the 1998, 2002 and 2004, that belief rings somewhat hollow. The still young, incredible 2007 has all the potential needed to achieve a three-digit rating in a few years. A dense plum/purple color is followed by notes of subtle smoke, barbecue spice, blueberries, red and black currants, flowers, and a smoky meat-like character that I first compared to the aroma of Peking duck. There is something exotic about this full-bodied, dense 2007. Young and vibrant, it should hit its peak in 5-6 years, and last until 2030-2035. This world-class, prodigious Pinot Noir is probably better than 90% of the red Burgundies being produced. Reviewed by Robert M. Parker, Jr. Issue date: June 26, 2014. Drinking window: N/A.
