Ten Acres Vineyards

Bodegas El Nido

El Nido Jumilla Cabernet Sauvignon Monastrell 2015

The vineyards are 76.8 acres of very old vaso trained Monatrell vines and 28.8 acres of 30 year old Cab Sauvignon. A blend of 70% Cab Sauvignon & 30% old vine Monastrell aged 2 years. Dark red with big berry flavors & complex spice. On the palate rich ripe cherry & blackberry flavors with sweet vanilla spice, well balanced with acidity. Tannins are approachable but the wine is still very young, lingering finish ending with oak notes, bigger than the ‘14. Still needs time, don’t be tempted but if you have a reason to drink something great, open a bottle, but if you wait this will be great! Tasting Sample. — 8 years ago

Rattlesnake Acres Petite Syrah 2000

Wow, words can not explain how good this is. You just need to try some of these old turley petite's to believe it. This was the first of quite a few older vintages that I have tucked away. Can't wait to enjoy more of these! — 12 years ago

Ten Fidy Imperial Stout

The standard expression is very good, but the barrel aged version is out of this world amazing. I was only able to get my hands on one can so I won't be able to asses how it ages, but even young it is exceptional. — 9 years ago

Joseph Phelps Vineyards

Insignia Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2006

This is still a pretty young wine at ten years in. We opened this and decanters for a few hours and it still displays a lot of youth. The big fruit flavored come out with a little swirling. Enjoy, but be patient if you can. — 9 years ago

Ten Acre

Cummings Vineyard Pinot Noir 2013

Love this wine and what Michael Zardo is doing over at Ten Acre/Bella. Exceptional bottle that shows a true Cali PN. Full bouquet of lilac, violets, caramel and musk. Beautiful nose. Sip shows spice, smoke, black fruits, black tea with subtle tones of mole bitters. That same spice returns for a lingering finish flashing its soft round tannins one more time. — 9 years ago
