2005 Marcassin Chardonnay Three Sisters Vineyard
UNITED STATES / CALIFORNIA / SONOMA
Wine Spectator | Rating: 89
Aromas of anise, dried apricot, fig and spice are ripe, full-bodied and complex, yet marked by a twinge of minerally, cedary bitterness and returning to a tangy nectarine note.Author: James LaubeWine Advocate | Rating: 94
The 2005 Chardonnay Three Sisters Vineyard is a dead-ringer for a grand cru Chevalier-Montrachet. Lemon, orange blossom, white currant, wet stone, and spring flower notes emerge from this wine, along with a strong mineral component, a full-bodied, deep, profound richness, and a zesty, vibrant finish. It should age for a decade or more.Author: Robert Parker
One of the most influential mavens of modern California winemaking, Helen Turley creates in Marcassin wines that are among the most sought-after in California. Though the wines are made following a traditionalist Burgundian style, they are unique, complex representations of California Pinot and Chardonnay. Turley's straightforward winemaking philosophy is, "...great vineyards, meticulously farmed, limited yield, long hang time and natural yeast."
