2016 Marcassin Estate Chardonnay – Coastal Depth and Precision
The 2016 Marcassin Estate Chardonnay reflects the estate’s singular approach to Sonoma Coast terroir. Produced in limited quantities, Marcassin has built a reputation for crafting richly textured yet structured Chardonnay that balances coastal freshness with layered complexity. The 2016 vintage exemplifies this philosophy with clarity and depth.
Tasting Notes
The nose reveals aromas of ripe pear, lemon curd, toasted hazelnut, and subtle ocean mineral tones. On the palate, the wine is concentrated yet focused, offering layered orchard fruit supported by vibrant acidity and a fine, integrated oak framework. A saline edge and long, persistent finish underscore its coastal origin and aging potential.
Winemaking & Vineyard Details
Sourced from estate vineyards along the Sonoma Coast, the wine is crafted from low-yielding Chardonnay vines grown in cool maritime conditions. Fermentation occurs in French oak barrels, followed by extended lees aging to build texture and complexity. The 2016 growing season provided balanced ripening, resulting in fruit of intensity and precision.
Investment & Collectibility
Marcassin remains one of California’s most tightly allocated and sought-after producers. The 2016 Estate Chardonnay has earned strong critical recognition and continues to draw interest from collectors seeking distinctive, age-worthy white wines from the Sonoma Coast.
Vintage Insights & Accolades
The 2016 vintage along the Sonoma Coast delivered ideal conditions, producing wines of richness balanced by freshness. Early reviews highlight its structure and capacity for extended cellaring.
