After having their 12 a couple of months ago, I thought I’d try the 13.
It’s was good but still 4-5 years from shinning. The 12 is drinking beautifully now.
Nice darker fruits than the 12. However, at an hour opening up in the decanter, the lighter red fruits really shinned with some floral blueberries painting the edge of the palate. Nice round bright a acidity and good long, well balanced finish that will improve with more bottle age.

Balanced and focused Pinot Noir from the boys at Pisoni. Slightly gamey on the nose coupled with wet earth. I've made several trips to SLH and this speaks of the visual terroir. Crushed roses, strawberry and allspice on the palate. Tannins and acidity are excellent with wet earth and smoke closing out for a complex long finish.
