El Picón, a 4.9-acre parcel planted on clay and chalky soils, produced a radiant 2010. Like many of the best wines of the vintage, this remains youthful, with fresh red fruit flavors that belie its six years of age. Under the bright fruit, it offers earthy notes, pulsing with the energy of its acidity and tannins, firm and deep. An excellent example of the brilliant 2010 vintage, this is still a baby. Save room for it in your cellar as this will age with grace.
