Confusing wine.....not sure if a storage issue....cola is overwhelming, not the brightness of fruit expected with a P & H pinot as I am a fan. Has not aged well....6 years....

Rich, bright red fruit accompanied by cola and pepper with a delicate balance of acidity and tannins on the finish. Agree with Kcp below and suggest holding until 2016 for maximum enjoyment

Very nice transparent ruby color to it. Nice big strawberry nose with hints of cherry. A bit different from your normal Cali pinot. Very nice mix of watermelon and cherry flavors coming through. I feel the acid is quite low on this, but overall a tasty wine. I would pick one up again.

Ultra strong in concentration, with a clumsy spice flavor and a strong solvent-like aftertaste. No finish whatsoever. There is some good fruit (sensed at the front of the taste), but it goes awry in the making.

Robust, excellent nose, focused, RRV to the core. Good now, but a bit early to get the most out of this.

Filled with black raspberry, kirsch and earth, this round wine ends with sweet cherries in the finish.
