Hi Wooters! We’re glad to be back! We heard some very nice comments when this wine last ran on Woot. We just enjoyed the '08 last night with a wood-fired pizza with arugula, mozzarella and lamb shank ragu. Delicious!

Read some of the comments on the last woot roughly two weeks ago – can anyone offer some notes on this? This wine looks interesting from previous comments but I’m not much of a Pinot drinker in general just because I find Pinots to be hit or miss.

another woot off stopper ?

Late to the show, now that it’s sold out, but just to reassure anyone who bought it, I had a bottle a few nights ago, from the last offering.

So, this will be a simple note… this is my first official tasting notes post, so it’s brief and not super informative…

Anyway… It started out a little bright, but as it breathed (and I got tipsy) it just kept getting better and better. By the second half it was delicious. Coated the mouth with a nice velvety feel. The brightness (don’t know how else to refer to it) really fell off completely, and it came down to where I like pinots. It finished not quite but almost smokey.

These may be inaccurate - I live alone, and the dog doesn’t drink either, so memory could be fuzzy.
