"The 2016 Chardonnay Marcassin Vineyard is a total stunner. Somehow suspended in time, the 2016 shows both the complexity of a Chardonnay of its age and the energy of wine that still has a long road ahead of it. An exotic mélange of orange peel, honeysuckle, lemon oil, chalk, dried herbs and a kiss of new French oak races across the palate. Time in the glass fleshes out the contours. Simply stated, the 2016 is one of the most profound California Chardonnays I have ever tasted. Marcassin fans are going to lose their minds.. - Antonio Galloni."
