2010 Wine from USA

Wine Enthusiast, 90 points: Showcasing the Pisoni signature of huge, bold fruit, this wine has ripe and savory flavors of raspberry, cherry, pomegranate, persimmon. The wine tastes of oak, too, in the form of vanilla and smoky butter. It's a...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The less expensive 2010 Endre (53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc aged in both French and Hungarian oak) is very Bordeaux like. Notes of bouquet garni, red and black currants...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90 points: The energy and focus that is typical of the cooler sites within the Santa Lucia Highlands comes through in the 2010 Pinot Noir Rosella’s. Dark red cherries, flowers, mint and spices are woven together nicely as the wine...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 points: One of the richer, fleshier wines in this lineup of 2010 Pinots from Bernardus, the 2010 Pinot Noir Soberanes shows lovely depth and roundness throughout. Spices, menthol and licorice add complexity to the fruit in this...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: The 2010 Amuse Bouche Red Blend (93% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc from Rutherford vineyards) is considered to be a California version of a top-class Pomerol. It possesses a deep ruby/purple color as well as a sexy, mocha...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: Deceptively understated with a profile of crushed rock andmineral joined by dark berry spice and a beefy note on the finish.Firmly tannic. Syrah Mourvèdre Grenache and Petite Sirah. Drinknow through 2024.-J.L.

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 96 points: The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon is the product of a very challenging harvest at The Vineyardist. The only way to achieve full ripeness during the cold 2010 season was to take yields way down, a full 50% of normal, which means...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 94 points: Dark berries and minerals on the vibrant, sweet nose. Intensely flavored but light on its feet, conveying an impression of serious power without any excess weight. Dark berry fruit flavors are complicated by subtle soil...
