A much heavier style pinot than the latest offerings from PH
Very dark crimson color
Some heat, dark fruits, velvety mouthfeel & long finish
Overall a nicely balanced drop....However, more in the style of a typical RR pinot than the ethereal lightness of the current Wiley release that I crave right now

Sad that this is the last bottle of this in my cellar. Deep color with still a bit of heat on the nose even after extended decanting. Black cherry, sweet fruit with blackberry jam components. Nice structure and brambly foundation. Sweet oak influences and silky mouthfeel with fine tannins lead to a lingering and memorable finish.

Oxidized. Interestingly the cork looked good and color sound.
