Quite good for 2011. Decanted 5 hrs and checked along the way. Really mellowed out and improved over that time. Very nice QPR

I know that PofH seems to be a darling with wine critics and has the reputation of a great 2nd label/QPR from Napa at around $70.

I may be swimming against the stream here but having recently opened 2009/10/11/12 I must admit to being a tiny bit underwhelmed.
I even have difficulties recognizing varietal characters aligned with Napa.

Perhaps I shall just pop them on the earlier side...??

(Please keep trash-talking the 2011-vintage from Napa and I'll cross my fingers that I win the Lotto so I can stock up).
GREAT wine!

Great producer but the wine is underwhelming. Could be the 2011 vintage
