Having worked at some of the greatest Napa wineries and subsequently forged a reputation as one of the region`s most formidable winemakers, Helen Turley founded her own tiny boutique winery, Marcassin, in 1991. A beautiful Pinot Noir, the 2002 vintage is described by the Wine Spectator as follows, "Shows amazing richness, depth and purity of flavor, with a concentrated mix of blackberry, red plum, wild berry and cherry kirsch. Intense, complex and deftly balanced, with a long, persistent finish."
