What is going on here? Another woot.off? What do these guys think? That we're made of money (and time?)

I haven't even had a chance to unpack my Esterlina from the last woot off....

I wish my wine budget was in better shape. I would love to buy this just to say "thank you" for the quick and fantastic response from the Winery to the incorrect reisling shipment last year.

I don't see this vintage on teh winery website. I see the 2007 listed for $65 a bottle. Anyone know about this vintage? Was it a good year or is there a reason they are trying to sell this but not the 2007 vintage?

The winery is not listing the 08 on their site as available for sale, but the 07 is listed at $65 per.

I have NO idea about this wine, but the fires in the Mendocino area in 2008 did cause smoke taint problems in some wines.

Ahh. . . thank you. I had forgotten that was 2008. A Cali PN at this price point seems a little too risky to take the chance. I love PN but I'm out on this one.

answer from the winery during the previous offer:

One of great things about the Cole Ranch AVA is it is geographically unique. It is not in the same valley as the Anderson Valley so smoke was not injected into the Cole Ranch AVA in 2008.

If you have been fortunate enough to taste our 2008 Anderson Valley Pinot you might know that it has developed into and excellent wine. Thanks to the blending and oversight of our experienced Pinot focused winemaker Lynn Krausmann. Her hand is all over the 2008 Cole Ranch Reserve. It is rich and opulent and and has no flavor profile attributes simaliar to the AV bottling of that vintage.

That is the beauty of Pinot Noirs, they are so site specific. Our first commerical vintage of fruit from the Cole Ranch AVA Pinot Noir was a 94pt wine.

EDIT: and more from the winery...The Cole Ranch AVA is in its own little valley geographically isolated from the Anderson Valley where the fires were in 2008. As a result it was separated by the mountain ranges and the weather from receiving the effects of the fire and smoke.

That is the beauty of having our wines grown in multiple geographic regions and AVA's. It is the equivalent of portfolio diversification with grapes. If there is some unique weather phenomenon is one AVA, then the good news is that it does not necessarily affect the others!

Anderson Valley wines did take quite a hit in 08 from the smoke. I've tasted a few where it tasted like there was jerky or Liquid Smoke in the juice& even more AV wineries chose not to bottle. Looking forward to tasting the 09's when we're out there in a week or so, though!

Hope someone from the winery or other tasters chime in on this one. Not for me, though; saving my Pinot budget for tastings & purchases in situ.

/edit/ sorry -- I type slow & missed Texacaliali's response

"We hear of the conversion of water into wine at the marriage in Cana as of a miracle. But this conversion is, through the goodness of God, made every day before our eyes. Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards, and which incorporates itself with the grapes, to be changed into wine; a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy." Benjamin Franklin

Great information, I was in no way trying to indict this particular wine as being tainted.

Thank you for the clarification!

Any idea on what the winery price for the 2008 is? I am not typically a Pinot Noir kinda guy, but I would not mind stocking a few decent bottles in my collection.
