NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Marcassin Alexander Mountain Upper Barn Chardonnay is a stunning example of Chardonnay from this renowned vineyard.Aromas of ripe melon, pear, and honeydew melon with hints of toasted hazelnuts and white flowers waft from the glass. On the palate, this wine is full-bodied and creamy with notes of sweet pineapple and pear, balanced by a bright acidity and a long finish of toasted oak and butterscotch. Enjoy this wine now or cellar for up to a decade for further complexity.
