@redwinefan

Seconded! Love Sonoma Coast, iffy on RRV especially if it has a Dr. Pepper tasting profile.

I love both regions for these very reasons…

Tasted all three of these at the winery a couple months ago with bawhm, ddeuddeg, tenuki, cagrl, et al. These are all excellent wines, and this is a good discount from their normal asking price. If you like Russian River Pinot, this set is for you. Style-wise, it’s not heavy handed or over-oaked or anything like that. This is old school style and quite an excellent version of it. If you’re looking for the heavily oaked, bombastic style, then perhaps you should look elsewhere for your $45/bottle RRV PN.

klez, thanks for the confirmation. I thought we tasted these at the winery. Ahem, it was JUST a month ago to the day! Sure seems like a few months ago! Things have been too hectic!

Oh, and these were/are really excellent wines. (In for one. I just broke the SIWBM!) Guy treated us very well and we had a lot of fun with him.

Very nice people is an understatement! In addition to hanging out long after “closing time”, we asked about all sorts of things wine related and then got on to talking about West Coast Swing dancing.

Hey! We missed the West Coast Swing dancing discussion! Boo Hoo! ddeuddeg & I are into ballroom dancing.

All of those would be tempting too…especially Meeker, I’ve been very happy with the wines I’ve bought from them and Lucas Meeker’s participation is always amazing.

Might add Wellington to my list too if the single vineyard Cabs or Victory come up.

Mmmmm, Wellllington!

I might be convinced if it tastes like Dublin Dr. Pepper.

We could have gone dancing that weekend at Boogie by the Bay! WCS and Lindy until you drop!

@mrlbem

But 09 is a great vintage for RRV Pinot Noir.

That’s probably true, but it needs some bottle time…several years mostly likely to reach it’s full potential right?

Too bad this wasn’t lastbottle, I’d get $25 for getting the last bottle(s) - LOL!!

I hope this is GREAT pinot!! I absolutely LOVED the 2007 Torii Mor Olalla Vineyard Pinot Noir from Umpqua Valley.

Oooh… maybe Woot should make the person responsible for the sellout next weeks labrat.

Several years is probably too many to wait for it to be drinking nicely, although I haven’t had the wine. I would imagine that it will be drinking wonderfully in the 2-3 year mark , depending on how fruit driven vs. earthy you like your pinots. Although I would venture to guess that it will last for several years.

Got my Davis Pinot a couple of days ago…now if my Piro Piro Piccolo Pinot Grigio gets here by Thanksgiving, I’ll be stoked!!!
