Opened this at our Pinot Noir throwdown. Back at the first version of the same event, in 2013 (yes, this was the 10th Anniversary Redux), the P&H wines, especially this vineyard, were stars. Alas, this iteration of it was too ripe, too heavy, too gloppy and syrupy for my PN palate and that of our group. It showed fairly poorly in the over line-up. Was it just tired? Or did they miss the mark this time? Hard to say. Virtually every other bottle I bought from the winery was excellent, save maybe the Pisonis, which has a lot to do with the farming and expectations around those wines.

Dark red fruit takes over the senses. It accompanied with cinnamon and bright spice notes. Good depth and structure. Medium to full bodied Pinot noir that is very balanced. The oak is present, but well integrated. Good juice.

Aerated and decanted for 45 minutes. Lots of red fruit with a very nice balance of tannins and acid. Big mouth feel with long finish.
