2013 Marcassin Pinot Noir Marcassin Vineyard Sonoma Coast

(94 Points  --  Wine Advocate)

The 2013 Pinot Noir Marcassin Vineyard doesn’t have quite the drama, depth of flavor or profound depth of the 2012. This dark plum/ruby-colored wine offers displays crisp acids as well as notes of Chinese black tea and orange rind, and builds incrementally in the mouth to a medium to full-bodied finish. By Marcassin standards, it’s just a brilliant wine rather than a compellingly great one. (RP) 94+    Review Date: 03/2016
