September 23, 2019 - Beautifully balanced Pinot. Herbs and mushroom, muted fruits, with lackberry and scents of forest on the nose. Bright palate, with dark fruits and hints of earthiness and a nice lingering finish. Really drinking beautifully.
March 18, 2018 - Dark cherry and cedar. Not a light Pinot. It’s ready now but should last a couple more years.
March 8, 2018 - Dense, rich red berry fruit with hints of spice and oak-inspired vanilla. Lavender, dried herb aromas. Long in the finish.

October 19, 2014 - The name Ten Degrees pays homage to the unique, cool climate of the Anderson Valley and the fact that even though the four estate vineyards span a modest eight miles, they often display a temperature variance of as much as ten degrees from The Narrow vineyard in the cool "deep end" to our Confluence Vineyard in the south. To add to this natural climactic diversity, our Estate program consists of 200 acres of more than 96 individual blocks of pinot with 49 unique combinations of clone and rootstock material. 100% french oak, 16 mo in barrel, Bottle feb 13. The 2011 Ten Degrees is a wine with a profound sense of place, capturing both the diversity and the rich, rustic depth that define the Anderson Valley. As it languidly unfurls, it eloquently reveals its pedigree. From our Gowan Creek Vineyard, it draws plus fruit core of Santa Rosa plum and blackberry, alongside layers of sandalwood, dark chocolate and clove. Confluence Vineyard contributes length and breadth with fine, beautifully textured tannins and underscoring notes of fresh-picked red cherries, wet stone, pennyroyal and cinnamon. Rounding out the blend, our Split rail Vineyard brings an almost architectural structure to the wine,a s well as weight, body and notes of fennel, leather and candied spice.
