"This deeply pigmented wine exudes earthy notes of crème de cassis

and the grapes were infected with the botrytis

The wine is soft and refined in the finish

2010 Marcassin Blue Slide Ridge Pinot Noir Champagne There's lovely transparency here"The medium to full bodied, dark ruby plum colored 2010 Pinot Noir Blue Slide Ridge displays the blue fruit spectrum along with some raspberries, fresh mushrooms and spring flowers, a layered mouthfeel, more minerality than the explosive 2009 exhibited, outstanding ripeness and lots of personality. This is clearly a grand cru site owned by the Martinellis." 94 100 Wine Advocate
