Tasted out of bottle, the 2010 Pandora checks in as a blend of 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah that comes from a single block of chalky soils. Showing the cool year, it has a pretty, elegant and fresh profile to go with notions of black raspberries, flowers, mint and spice on the nose. Medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated, lightly textured and juicy, it should drink nicely through 2022. This is another incredible lineup by Rhone superstar John Alban. For the life of me, I can’t understand why no one else in the Edna Valley tries to make wine anywhere close to this level of quality. Tel. (805) 546-0305; www.albanvineyards.com
