2001 Marcassin Sonoma Coast Blue Slide Ridge Pinot Noir

92 pts - Wine Advocate

["Fragrant aromas of damp earth, fresh mushrooms, gravel, anise, plums, and cherries emerge from the 2001 Pinot Noir Blue Slide Ridge, which reveals this vineyard’s distinctive perfume and singular quality. An atypical notion of herbaceousness is also present. Drink this gamy, rich, complex 2001 over the next 7-10 years. - WA, RP (2/2005)"]

97 pts - Wine Spectator

["A sensational Pinot that caresses the palate. Ultrarich and deeply flavored, with an easygoing and delicious range of ripe, spicy blackberry, black cherry, fresh earth and herbal spice and nutmeg flavors. Smooth, this delicate beauty dances on the palate, ending with a fragrant dried cherry and wilted rose petal scent. Drink now through 2012. 400 cases made. — JL (02/2006)"]
