Ten Minutes By Tractor 'Ten X' Pinot Noir 2025

At first, this appears all upfront fruit and spice, plush and ripe, and yes, it’s all that, but it unfurls in the glass. There’s a bit more going on. Savoury, supple, fleshy and fuller-bodied with wafts of wood smoke, rooibos, bresaola and twiggy, while the palate is flush with macerated cherries, cleansing acidity and grippy tannins. It’ll last some distance, even if it’s ready now. 93 points. - Jane Faulkner, Wine Companion. 

Ruby red shades, earthy undertones and spice are beautifully intertwined with bursts of sweet perfume, providing a wonderful welcome to this wine. On the palate, it begins with raspberry and leathery notes that gracefully move towards a darker spectrum of black cherry as the wine glides and lingers. Tannins are fine and resolved, giving structure and depth, but it is the intense fruit profile that champions this wine, delivering on all levels from start to finish. Winery's notes.
