Revisiting this after 4yrs and it is coming along nicely: the color is unreal - just inky as heck w/intense concentration & stuffing. Similar profile w/improved structure. Russ Turco brings in grapes from Napa & makes wine in Door County, WI. Solid array of wines

I really enjoyed the density, concentration and chewiness of this wine. It had the "kitchen sink" of aromatic notes I find in PV - but it was a bit flabby lacking tannic structure ultimately making this less than great.

This was tasty, but more potent than I remember. It had thick earthy tones, and was ripe, dry. Enjoyed sipping it slowly.
