There will be magnums as well as 750 ml bottles produced of the 1995 Marcassin Vineyard Chardonnay. There is only one barrel of the wine (roughly 25 cases of each). Allocation by lottery may resolve the distribution problem for those customers on the winery's mailing list. When I tasted the 1995 Marcassin Vineyard Chardonnay, the first thought that went through my head was the same as when I tasted the 1982 Comte Lafon Montrachet. It is a backward wine with a liquid stony, mineral essence to its character. On the palate, the honey and citrus character of the Chardonnay grape begins to be apparent, but the wine's unmistakable liquid minerality is the hallmark of this formidably endowed, full-bodied Chardonnay. Relatively high acidity buttresses all the components, so it will be fascinating to follow this wine's evolution. It needs 2-3 years of cellaring, after which it will evolve for 10-15 more years.
