2010 Wine

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, 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, 95 points: The 2010 Trasnocho is sourced from old vines, mostly Tempranillo with some 5% Graciano, fermented together with the skins of Viura and Malvasía used for the whites. The wine matured in new French oak barrels for 20...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: The most powerful Issan ever with incredible depth of fruit and richness. Muscular tannins. Loads of dark berry, tea leaf and autumnal character at the end of the palate. A traditional, broad-shouldered wine. Better in 2018.

Burghound, 92 points: A pure and unusually high-toned nose of cool and ripe red pinot fruit that is liberally laced with earth and humus scents. There is good volume to the supple and very round flavors that display good verve and excellent...

Wine Enthusiast, 93 points: This is a fine, beautifully controlled wine. Its dark black currant fruits and firm dense texture are restrained, stylish and delicious. At the same time, the fruits offer a smooth, juicy aftertaste. Keep for 6–7 years.

Wine Spectator, 98 points: Plush and rich, with concentrated flavors of dark plum, kirsch and spiced cherry, backed up by fresh acidity. Offers raspberry jam nuances, with notes of licorice lingering on the chocolate-filled finish, which reveals...

Vinous, 95 points: Bright red-ruby. Exceptional aromatic purity and complexity to the aromas of blueberry, cassis, cocoa powder, mocha, spices and minerals; some very ripe berry pie notes emerged with air. Wonderfully creamy, silky and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: Representing a blend of 70% Nero di Troia and 30% Montepulciano, the 2010 Castel del Monte Riserva Il Falcone is a delicious edition with all the intensity and opulence you should expect of Puglia. Yet, it boasts a level...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: A sensational blend of 60% Sauvignon Blanc and 40% Semillon with nearly 14% natural alcohol this superb honeyed effort exhibits orange marmalade lemon custard and exotic tropical fruit notes.

jamessuckling.com, 92 points: A ripe and juicy wine with dried strawberry and hints of earth. Full body, with velvety tannins. Delicious finish. Sweet fruit at the end. Drink or hold.

Jancis Robinson's Purple Pages, 90 points: 17/20 Very deep crimson. Very well-mannered nose. Nicely integrated. Very tender wine. Fermentation in concrete with long skin contact. Mulberries. Very charming. Not obviously Maury really!

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: The 2010 L'Etoile Vin Jaune is a super elegant version of the Savagnin aged under a veil of yeasts for no less than six full years and whatever remains of the year when the grapes were harvested. It has a great nose...
