"Gorgeous aromas of kirsch liqueur, crushed blue/black berries and graphite are framed with sweet toasty oak. On the palate dense texture and perfectly rich fruit (Rutherford and Oakville) contrasts nicely with the fresh impact of mountain minerality (Atlas Peak). Crushed plum, violets and white flowers vie for attention all supported by ripe, mouth-coating tannins. Superb length and penetrating fruit are focused and intense with tremendous persistence and balance."

"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."

"Black currant, vanilla and dried Herbs de Provence. Lucious flavors of currant, blackberry, French vanilla, cocoa powder. This wine has firm tannins and a smoth, lingering finish."

"The 2010 Chianti Classico is beautiful, pointed and articulate. Sweet red berries, anise, flowers, spices and licorice are some of the many notes that flow from this gorgeous Chianti. The freshness and vibrancy are pure 2010."

"Vibrant ruby in color with lots of rich earth and dark berry aromas on the nose. Bright raspberry, cranberry fruit, with some warm spice on the lingering finish."

"Fresh and refreshing, with pretty plum and floral flavors on a spacious frame, lingering without weightiness."

"A classic expression of Napa Valley Cabernet at its best: Remarkably rich and concentrated. Tantalizing entry -almost sweet with blackberry essence, it evolves into a plush, mouth filling compote of black fruit, beautifully integrated with woodsy and mineral notes, mocha, tobacco and clove. For all its volume the delivery is surprisingly fresh and supple, with a long, mocha-infused finish."

"Polished and distinctive, offering chocolate and espresso accents around a supple core of cherry and fresh currant fruit. The finish is well-defined, with a silky feel. Drink now through 2019."
