94 Points Robert Parker
Deep garnet-purple colored, Noon’s 2010 Eclipse offers an intense, complex nose with a core of ripe black cherries and blackberries over hints of mint, dark chocolate, violets, yeast extract and toast. Full bodied yet beautifully elegant in the mouth, it offers an excellent concentration of fruit marked by crisp acid and a medium to firm level of grainy tannins. The finish is long and layered. Still youthfully taut and primary, it should drink best 2013 to 2020+.

93 Points James Halliday
Drew Noon's iconic grenache shiraz blend now receives a little support from graciano and cabernet. 2010 denotes one of the greats, with restrained alcohol for this label of 14.6% giving voice to attractive lift of violet perfume, wild berries and mixed spice. Lively acidity and soft, dusty, fine-grained tannins sure up a vibrant, poised and persistent finish. Drink to 2016.
