2011 Marcassin Chardonnay Marcassin VineyardSonoma Coast more |
5/3/2024 - fdub Likes this wine: 95 pointsTook the advice from Wetlaufer and stood this up for 24 hours. Makes a real difference and highly recommended for these wines even the fine sediment muddies the flavors. Great color and intensity for a 13 year old CA Chardonnay. Great texture and tone on the palate and gains depth over the two hours of drinking. |

4/16/2024 - Minnesota wrote: 90 pointsBoy, this is not our style of chardonnay. Deep yellow with butterscotch, caramel, rich vanilla nose more reminiscent of dessert. Forced myself to continue drinking though did improve -- a bit -- over time. This is not the Marcassin of 90s and 00s. |

4/6/2024 - Mrbuzz Likes this wine: 95 pointsVINTAGE 2010 Dinner (Galletto Ristorante, Modesto Ca.): Love me some Marcassin! Sometimes you need a little wood spice in your life! After drinking all those Chablis and Burgs, I do miss drinking these. The 10 is wonderful! Rich and full of butter sauteed apples and apricots...lemon squeeze, citrus oil, pineapple, lifts it nicely. SO much complexities of smoked vanilla bean, toasted campfire marshmallows, butterscotch spice...plenty crushed rock minerality...flint strike...all well in balance, and a delectable mouthful of goodness! |

3/16/2024 - rosenst1 wrote: 93 pointsPnP. Medium gold. Intense nose of tropical and orchard fruits. On the palate this has excellent depth of flavor with pear, peach, and other stone fruits. Perhaps a bit soft on the finish to balance the intensity of the fruit. Lovely wine though perhaps not at the top of the Marcassins I've had. |

2008 Marcassin Chardonnay Three Sisters VineyardSonoma Coast more |
3/2/2024 - brigcampbell wrote: NRThere was concern that this bottle might be overdue, one from the same purchase it was already smoked. Fairly deep gold colored with some browning. Thankfully this bottle was in decent shape and the fruit was holding up. Had a nice balance with the oak, which seems to be fairly aggressive originally, and that medium plus weight. Very slick on the palate. |

2/11/2024 - jshufelt wrote: 96 pointsPop and pour into a decanter - 30-60 minutes would have been preferable, but this was a last-minute decision to add to the evening's lineup. In the decanter, slightly cloudy pale gold; in the glass, clear pale gold. On the nose, Meyer lemon, followed by a shifting mix of spices - nutmeg, cardamom, thyme, and a hint of clove. On the palate, a mouth-filling oily texture, delivering a foundation of fruit (more Meyer lemon, apples), upon which the spices and herbs come in and out of focus. Class. |

1/27/2024 - krhaugh Likes this wine: 98 pointsDecanted about 30 minutes but drank slowly over the next hour or so. Did a blind side by side with a 13 Domaine Serene Recolte. In the glass, a beautiful medium yellow going towards fresh hay. The Recolte was much darker. On the nose, plenty of oak, lemon and tropical notes that continued to evolve with time in the glass. Beautiful juice and a long delicious finish. One of the best Chardonnay's I have ever had. |

1/13/2024 - acemdin@yahoo.com Likes this wine: 92 pointsRumors of this wine’s death are greatly exaggerated. My bottle had been very well stored. It was certainly mature and might have been better a year or two ago. I see no reason to hold it further. But it was smooth and still had fruit. Don’t despair, but do drink up. Enjoy. |

1/12/2024 - CWilliam wrote: NRServed with appetizers (cheese / olives). Gold color with no real sediment. On nose, butter, lemon, floral and vanilla - not overdone. On palate, similar flavor profile to nose ex. vanilla. Medium body/acidity and no noticeable tannins (as expected). Long finish. Has aged beautifully. At this price point I'd prefer a Grand Cru Burgundy but this is a very nice bottle of wine. 93+/- |

12/29/2023 - jshufelt wrote: 95 pointsConsistent with previous tasting notes - we did the wine no favors by serving it with boldly seasoned vegetables and fish. Still clearly a wine of class, but, if I had to do it again, and having experienced this wine when it shows at its peak, I'd pair it with something milder, so that the full spectrum of floral, herbal, and spice aromatics and flavors present themselves clearly. |

12/23/2023 - sh6k Likes this wine: 93 pointsGood balanced Sonoma Chardonnay — lightly buttery and creamy and fresh fruit notes and a hint of green that brings it together. That said … I don’t see what the fuss is. It’s a good Chardonnay but I don’t see the hype — eg Aubert wowed me a lot more (or the Marcassin Pinot, for that matter) |
