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.
