93 points The Tasting Panel: "Winemaker Don Schroeder has spent the past 18 years working with the 150 planted acres of Pinot Noir, including ten different clones across more than 30 individual blocks, on the Sea Smoke Estate Vineyard. 'When we farm, we make decisions that go beyond a single vintage; part of our work is to lay the foundation for the vineyard managers and winemakers who come after us,' says Schroeder in regards to the winery’s commitment to organic and Biodynamic farming. A perfume of brined cherries and tilled soil leads to flavors of cinnamon, plum, and lavender. Intense and direct, with a plush finish. (Jul/Aug 2021)"
Producer notes: "A brooding and intense wine. The aromas begin with notes of elderberry, freesia and fig, then a myriad of savory spices, and a hint of lavender. Firm, mature tannins—evidence of Ten’s ageability—are followed by a long, velvety finish. Alcohol 14.7%."
