Tasting notes

Marcassin is a renowned winery in California, especially famous for its Pinot Noir. The 1996 vintage is a stunning representation of what they can achieve. Made entirely from Pinot Noir, this wine benefits from the region's warm climate, imparting a rich flavor to the grapes.

In Volume 22 of 'Drops of God', this wine is enjoyed by Shizuku, Honoka, and Sarah. They describe it as a "handsome and well-balanced wine," which perfectly suits the moment they share.

The wine has a garnet hue with a slight orange tinge at the rim, indicating its age. On the nose, you'll find aromas of black cherry and strawberry compote, complemented by dried herbs, a testament to its maturity. On the palate, it offers a velvety texture with a plush fruit sweetness. The acidity is rich and the tannins are silky.

The finish is long and the complexity is remarkable. Serve it slightly chilled, around 14°C, for the best experience. It's a perfect choice for a special evening, so try it with someone you cherish.
