Tasting Note: A classy effort, darkly colored, with high-toned aromas of cedar, plum and blackberry, this sleek, complex Pinot wins points for its excellent structure and long, expansive aftertaste that keeps revealing extra flavor nuances, finishing with firm, chocolaty tannins. Drink now through 2009. 500 cases made. (93pts. JL, Wine Spectator)
Tasted: Aug. 31, 2004
Score: 93
Drink: Now Through 2009
Tasting note: The broad, rich, deep ruby/purple-tinged 2002 Pinot Noir Ten offers up sweet black fruit, cola, and allspice aromas intermixed with discreet notes of wood and loamy soil. Full-bodied, pure, and impressively rich, with enough acidity and tannin to provide delineation, this powerful yet elegant, impeccably crafted beauty will drink well for 7-8 years. The designation “Ten” comes from the vineyard’s ten different Pinot clones, which are blended together to create this cuvee. (93pts. Robert Parker)
