The 2011 Pinot Noir Marcassin Vineyard has sweet berry fruit, roasted herbs, incense, a touch of background wood spice and foresty notes all present in this medium-bodied, slightly lighter style of Pinot Noir from Marcassin. This was a challenging vintage, but the wines turned out outstanding, and very Burgundian. The alcohol is 13.9%, which is one of their lowest sugar levels. The wine presents a very attractive, moderately intense perfume, good acidity and excellent precision.
Offers a distinctive cloak of smoky, toasty oak, with mature, medium-weight notes of cherry-scented herb, beet root and savory underbrush. Gains depth and nuance on the aftertaste, lingering pleasantly.
