Score 96/100 · Drink 1996-2002, Robert Parker, Dec 1996

The 1995 Chardonnay Gauer Ranch Upper Barn is riveting. Perhaps even more flamboyant than the 1995 Hudson Valley (to the point of decadence), this full-bodied Chardonnay immensely satisfies both the intellectual and hedonistic senses. Reminiscent of a rich, buttery, honeyed Batard-Montrachet from Michel Niellon (but purer and more complete), this is an explosively intense, complex, multi-dimensional wine that is utterly amazing. Drink it over the next 4-6 years. 1995 was more generous for Marcassin than 1994, producing 650 cases of Chardonnay. Tel. (707) 258-3608; Fax (707) 942-5633
