  April 14, 2022 - Still a wonderful wine. Full of fruit and a great nose too. I enjoyed just breathing in the wine. A friend brought a 2017 Wayfarer pinot which was very nice but I was a little worried the 2010 Block 10 would not hold up against it. It not only held it's own, it got even better as the night went on.

  February 12, 2020 - This was the wine i brought and was WOT at a Blind Pinot Noir of the World tasting with 5 wines: Paul Hobbs' Napa Hyde Vineyard 2016, South African Hamilton Russell PN 2018, Gevrey Chambertin Vielles Vignes 2015 from Faiveley and finally Luca Pinot Noir 2017 from Laura Catena Mendoza. PnP at first the nose jumps out of the glass with clear sour cherry mixed with some almost Port-like feel. This fades away while the fruit dominates and the wine shows a mix of boldness and elegance with still good acidity - amazing for a 10yr old Cal Pinot. Drink up as this should go down in 1 or 2 yrs.

  March 17, 2017 - Cola and cherry nose; explosive fruit and acidity; tannins are there; deep and textured with a balanced finish.

  February 26, 2017 - P/w guessing 2 hr decant. Clear, deep bright ruby color. I like this vintage. Wonderful huge, classic CA Pinot nose. Intense, rich, flavors, not over extracted. Red/Black fruit, slight earthiness, sharp, tart, long finish. Excellent effort, nothing off. $70

  February 11, 2017 - Enjoyed with a roast chicken. Served at cellar - 55 F. Popped and tasted and then decanted for perhaps 60 min. Initially a little tight. Light to medium color and legs. Excellent fruit - berries. Medium alcohol. Good balance overall. This is ready to drink now, but is not past its prime.
