2010 Marcassin Chardonnay Three Sisters Vineyard
Wine Advocate | Rating: 95
The 2010 Chardonnay Three Sisters reveals plenty of candle wax, white currants, peaches, citrus oil and honeysuckle as well as the wet stony minerality that can be found both in the aromatics and flavor profile. It is full-bodied and likely to evolve for 8-10 years or longer.Author: Robert ParkerWine Spectator | Rating: 94
Offering ripe lemon and green apple pie flavors, this is rich and pithy in texture. Almost Chablis-like, with a flinty minerality, this offers depth and extraction, gaining equilibrium on the long, deep finish.Author: James Laube

California is the heartland of wine production in the US, and the state that brought prestige to American wine thanks to the pioneers who built early wineries like Staglin, Beringer, Ridge, Mayacamas and Chateau Montelena in the 1800s. Its large geographic area ensures a great diversity in growing sites, varieties grown, and quality levels. Generalizations about the state's wines have numerous exceptions; however, a few key facts generally hold true—ample sunshine, dry weather during the growing season, and moderate winters prevail. Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon continue to dominate the state's production—albeit in continually smaller percentages, as growers continue to diversify. More than 100 different varieties can be found throughout the state.
