The 2010 is a gorgeous vintage; an incredible balance of richness, density and elegance and a welcome start to Thomas Rivers Brown's tenure. The nose is infused with aromas of dark cherries, chocolate, sage and a touch of toasted brioche that captures the elegance of the year. The lush palate wraps around deep, generous fruit flavors balanced by notes of baking spice and herbs. Plush tannins frame a concentrated core of cherry and plum. The round, seamless finish reveals stunning depth. Showing well now, this sophisticated wine will continue to age gracefully for many years to come.
Wine Spectator 91 points Packs a lot of flavors into a small space, featuring cedar-framed dark berry, licorice, dried herb and tobacco leaf notes. This tightly wound version begs for cellaring. Best from 2014 through 2024. 1,200 cases made.-JL
Wine Advocate 90 points The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon (96% Cabernet Sauvignon) is surprisingly opulent and fruit-forward for a 2010 with a deep ruby/purple color and sweet notes of licorice, black currants, espresso and white chocolate intermixed with a hint of underbrush. Medium to full-bodied with an opulent mouthfeel, it can be enjoyed over the next 10-15 years.
