Score 87/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Jan 2005

Blackberry, cherry, minerals and spicy oak on the nose. Thick but lively, with juicy, fairly precise flavors of blackberry and spice. The tannins are fine but the wine showed some increasingly oaky dryness with aeration.

Score 93/100 · Drink 2004-2012, Robert Parker, Aug 2004

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. Tel. (805) 737-1600
