One of the lighter bodied Cuvées from Ten Minutes. My favourite is the Judd vineyard for Pinot Noir. See previous Coolart Road notes. Mid crimson in colour. Red cherry, varnishy smoky nose. Barely medium weight palate but M plus intensity of flavour. My last 2015 Coolart Road. We had a great cellar visit and lunch just before Christmas 2023. — a year ago

See previous Delectable notes. Light to medium crimson in colour - a tawny rim developing. Aromas of Sous Bois, compost heap and stewed fruits. As I said in a previous note “sinewy “. Savoury red fruits and earthy. Judd vineyard seems to be the pick of the individual Pinot Noir Cuvées at Ten Minutes by Tractor. — 5 months ago

Had this 1year ago. Founded in 1979 by John Shafer, went from riding trains in Chicago to riding a TD-9 tractor in Napa. Blend of 56%Merlot, 28%Cab Sauv & 16%Malbec, aged for 20 mos French oak, despite 15.3% ABV, it’s well balanced. Wonderful berry fruit aromas, flavors of cherry, jammy blackberry and rasp with notes of cacao and sweet herbs. Lingering finish ending with earthy mineral. Had this with a USDA prime Fillet. Drink now & over next few years, any longer the wine will lose vibrant quality. Nice! — 6 years ago

Picked this up at Creekside Winery and fell head over heels for this cab franc 😍Melli but complex mouse and that continues into the mouth. Medium to full bodied with strong tones of dark jams and very subtle hints of tart cherry. — 5 years ago
