2010 Marcassin Blue Slide Ridge Pinot Noir Champagne toast and crushed shell with"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
