Intriguing and complex. Damp earth, fungi, toasty oak and vanilla lift from the glass while sweet cherry and mint, blanketed in velvety milk chocolate, strawberry and hints of white pepper coat the mouth in a rich and perfectly balanced, long finish. Delicious right now, and a great qpr @ $33/bottle from the winery.

Much better than my notes from almost 2 years ago. Seems to be in the sweet spot. Substantial, full bodied (for pinot), acids under control and good flavors and finish. I really enjoyed this and it restores my faith in my original enthusiasm for PH.

We have had this bottle many times and have always rated it very highly. This one tasted like the bottom of the barrel that had been oxidized prior to bottling or something. The aroma was spot on, but it was full of sediment and even white flakes. We are huge fans of unfiltered wine, but it was so excessive we had to throw 1/4 of the bottle out.

Good, balanced and nice drinking, but not what I was hoping for. Good weeknight stuff, but not special occasion stuff.
