Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, December 2007

High in acidity and broodingly backward is the 2005 Chardonnay Marcassin Vineyard. The high acids are easily balanced by profound levels of concentration. Guava, nectarine, orange blossom, and other citrus appear in the flavor profile, along with an intense liquid minerality. Full-bodied, with no evidence of its new oak aging, it boasts sensational texture, richness, and length. Cellar it for 3-4 years and enjoy it over the following 15+ ... a freakishly long life for California Chardonnay.

Edging toward perfection (not unusual for these wines) is the 2005 Chardonnay Marcassin Estate. White flowers, white currants, crushed rock, quince, lemon butter, nectarine are all present in this wine, which has exceptional minerality and always reminds me of a grand cru white Burgundy such as Chevalier-Montrachet or a Coche-Dury Mersault Perrieres because of its liquid stone and floral notes. The wine has a gorgeous backbone of acidity to buttress the concentrated, rich flavors. This is sensational Chardonnay that should age effortlessly for a decade or more.
