1995 Marcassin Chardonnay Hudson Vineyard E Block

The profound 1995 Chardonnay Hudson Vineyard (14 barrels or 350 cases) should turn out to be one of the all-time wonders from the Turley/Wetlaufer vinous treasure trove. The huge, smoky, hazelnut, citrusy, honey-scented nose is to die for. In the mouth, the wine reveals awesome richness, an underlying mineral component, layers of concentrated fruit, full body, and marvelous length and balance. It is an unctuously-textured, mouthfilling Chardonnay that should provide thrilling drinking for 5-7 years. Tel. (707) 258-3608; Fax (707) 942-5633
