"The 2010 includes a small amount of Petite Sirah to broaden the mouthfeel on the wine and add a little more dark fruit to the palate. There are aromas of raspberry, plum, black cherry, and citrus. In the glass there are flavors of plum, cranberry, black cherry, and classic spicy black pepper. The 2010 is a restrained vintage and will reward those with the patience to cellar a few bottles."

"Our MacMurray Ranch 2010 Central Coast Pinot Noir opens up with delicate cherry and pomegranate flavors accented by hints of vanilla and toast. The mouthfeel is silky and rewarding. With time to breath, this wine opens to an alluring balance of flavor, texture and emotion."

"Displays tangy layers of cassis, crushed cherry, licorice and mocha notes, with fruit, spice and toasty oak hints on the finish."

"Look for crushed limes, Thai spice, floral notes and a hint of rose petal. A tightly packed, lime juice and mineral driven style with just enough slippery texture to show its premium status. Minerality drives the wine and it finishes ultra tangy and fresh. Serve with Pad Thai, chicken and cashew nut stir fry and anything with a hint of chilli."

"It has a soft, mint-tinged bouquet with light dried rose petal tones. The palate is medium-bodied with a spicy entry, prickly red berry fruit, cedar and graphite originating from the oak. The finish is quite sharp with a dash of white pepper lingering on the aftertaste. This is a perfectly pleasant Toro red."

"Firm, with a lively bead and a well-meshed range of smoky mineral, white peach, candied lemon zest, biscuit and pickled ginger notes. Mouthwatering finish."
