  P&P as part of a 2013 horizontal of the single vineyard blends (Apogee, Perigee, Ferguson). My least favorite of the 3, but still a great wine. Flavors of currant, cherry and earth, a bit of oak and coffee on the finish. Drink now - 2028.

  Had my last bottle of this 5 years ago and gave it a 94. Well not this time. Something has made the taste a lot different. Seems a little "old." Nothing fruity about it like 5 years ago. Sediment present now. I will pass the lower rating off to this single bottle. I am bummed.

  Having just a glass of a newly opened bottle at the Heritage tasting room. Outdoor with a breeze so hard to nose. Medium to full body, still has some significant tannins. Decent finish. Begs for a steak. Probably has a few years to peak and will probably last another 7-10 years.
