Tasting notes
Very similar to 2009. Very good vintage. Deep crimson. More serious and concentrated than 2009 Block 3. Very good potential. Sweet and concentrated but with good structure and freshness. Confident. (JR)

Deep ruby-purple colored, the 2010 Block 3 Pinot Noir has notes of black cherries, plums, graphite, red currant, damp loam and dark chocolate with a whiff of anise. Elegantly fruited in the medium bodied mouth, it is tight-knit and restrained at the moment offering muscular blackberry fruit, a medium-firm level of fine grained tannins and a long earthy finish. Approachable now, it should drink best 2012 to 2019+. Importer: Wilson Daniels Ltd., St. Helena, CA; www.wilsondaniels.com
Bright dark red with ruby tones. Brooding, slightly reduced aromas of black raspberry and cola. Then dense, sweet and intense in the mouth, with harmonious acidity framing and enlivening its plush berry flavors. This pinot has the stuffing to buffer its serious but fine-grained tannins. Finishes quite long, with a piquant minty edge contributing to an impression of grip.
