Dynamic out of the bottle. I was hoping for a little more. It's not carrying as much weight as I hoped it would . Blackcurrent ,Cherry,black raspberry. After two hours still tight. I would wait minimum two years and try again.

Don't believe what you're going to read about Oregon's 2013 #wine vintage. Floral, tight, spicy, badass, put it to bed

Dec 6th, 201413 wass probably one of my least favorite vintages in this area when the wines were released. But, the wines have really turned a beautiful corner. Not sure of the long term cellar possibilities but the 13’s that I’ve been trying recently have been great. Great site. Great dude, love these wines, #housewine

Feb 28th, 2018Tough vintage. 1 bottle left of the 13. Backside of red hills road overlooking Thistle, Holstein, and looking up at a new site Mo has coming online next year. Candied raspberry, 24 hours later all black fruit

This was a really fabulous wine—but about a year or two past its prime. All the wonderful forest floor aromas and lovely cherry notes were there, but it was a bit thinner that it would have been had I opened it sooner. It is 2922 and I had the 2013, which wasn’t one of those built-to-last years.
So big thumbs up on this delicious wine: get it and open it—you’ll be happy!

Wow! Superbe nez, bouche droite et tannique. Superbe fruit, des épices. Long. Le gros kit.

Absolutely delicious. Light but with cherry up front & prevalent throughout.

Visited Mo at his kitchen tasting room on his vineyard property this spring. What an experience and what a wine this is. 2013 Willamette at its very finest. Pinot, Pinot, Pinot.
