Not sure about some of these low scores on CT, and I am not a huge fan of the 13 vintage in Oregon, like some on here (yes, I know it was a cool vintage and I know you had to know when to pick), but this wine was drinking quite well, and makes me put away some of my initial buyers remorse! I thought this wine was drinking the best of the three Pinot's I tasted (13 Shea Block 23 and 16 Kosta Brown SC).
Nose and palate displayed typical Dundee cherry notes with some bramble and herbs, and a earthy/woodsy flavor lurking in the background. There is just enough acidity to keep the wine lively. Easy 93 and no hurry to drink this, even though it is drinking quite well now.

Archery Summit Estate Vertical (Jason's House): A 2 hour decant, again, big and fruity. Pleasant and easy to drink, but not in my wheelhouse. It just hits exceptional for me on the fruit and silkyness of it. It needs more acid and structure.

Annual Wine Group Summer Event - BBQ Brisket at Siggy's (Siggy & Jenny's Place, Mpls, MN): Small glass - from magnum. Brief note; Same bottle as I'd Rather Be Drinking Wine. Good stuff, there's a good dose of red and black fruit here, but there's also a lot going on, it's well balanced and it doesn't come off sweet. May get better, 91+pts.
