2010 Wine

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon JCB No. 1 that includes the words “voluptuous, opulent, incorrigible” on the back label. It possesses more sweet black cherry and mulberry fruit reminiscent of a Merlot from Pomerol. The color...

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: The word massive barely begins to describe this Cabernet Sauvignon. It aims to compete with anything from Napa Valley, and does so largely successfully. The palate offers waves of ripe blackberries, black currants, dark...

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...

Wine Spectator, 96 points: Top 100: 2013, Rank: 9. Bold, rich and complex, yet delicate and graceful, showing finely detailed currant, dark berry and licorice notes, with jazzy spice and mocha-scented oak and a long, firming finish that gains depth...

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...

Vinous, 90 points: (AG88-90 points) The 2010 Pommard is a gorgeous village-level wine laced with silky red fruit, crushed flowers, spices and mint. The higher-altitude location of the plots used for the Pommard gives the wine an amount of...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: This wine sees seven long years of yeast contact. It celebrates the estate's 150th anniversary (1867-2017). The 2010 Metodo Classico Special Cuvée Pas Dosé is almost entirely Pinot Nero, with a 5% part of Chardonnay from...

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: This is an intense, pure pinot of two parcels and shows a complex and beautiful, strawberry and brioche character. Full body. Plenty of fruit, but always delicious. An experimental wine. Drink now.

TheWineCellarInsider.com, 100 points: Inky and opaque in color, the wine screams with licorice, truffle, dark black fruits, Asian spice and wet forest scents. The wine is stunningly concentrated filling your mouth, coating your palate and staining your teeth...

Vinous, 91 points: The 2010 Acte 2 is a step up from the debut on the nose, demonstrating more cohesion and harmony, raspberry and light blueberry scents and the oak better integrated than the Acte 1. There is a subtle mintiness that...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 100 points: The utterly perfect 2010 Hermitage Ex Voto Blanc is as good as it gets in Hermitage Blanc. Offering a crazy array of liquid rock-like minerality, graphite, flint, white currants, white peach and quince, it's layered...

Burghound, 89 points: A fully mature and ever-so-softly tropical fruit-suffused nose leads to rich, round and plump middle weight flavors that possess good mid-palate density before culminating in a slightly soft if delicious finale. For my...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: Araujo's 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard is a picture perfect example of the year. Vibrant precise and beautifully chiseled the 2010 boasts serious depth and concentration. The aromas and flavors are incredibly...
