2007 Pinots from Le Cadeau in OR via snail mail.  All $47 per bottle with a 5%-20% volume discount depending on the number of bottles ordered.
 
We have been very happy with the previous Le Cadeau cuvees and vintages.  The concept is a little different in that they have a different winemaker make each cuvee from their vineyard.
 
2007 Le Cadeau Pinot Noir Côté Est  - made by Steve Ryan, an ex-winemaker for Martinelli and now with Mendocino Farms - 427 cases
2007 Le Cadeau Pinot Noir Diversite - made by Cheryl Francis and Sam Tannahill - 237 cases
2007 Le Cadeau Pinot Noir Equinoxe - made by Jim Sanders - 450 cases
2007 Le Cadeau Pinot Noir Rocheux - made by Harry Person-nedry and Mike Eyres from Chehalem - 225 cases
 
For those of you that might remember the owner of this vineyard is Tom Mortimer, formerly BHV or BHVVineyard on the board. BHV stands for Black Hole Vineyard where Tom felt he was throwing their money while they were getting started.  Tom noted in the offer letter that they had sold out all of their 2006 wines possibly due to some good reviews from Jay Miller at the Wine Advocate.  Josh Raynolds also liked them from the IWC.
 
Le Cadeau cuvees are going to be our Turkey Day wines this year so I'm definitely in for at least a mixed case from this offer.  For me these have been consistently high 80s-low 90s  wines if you score them.

Has anybody tasted any of these 2007 wines from Le Cadeau? I know that 2007 was quite difficult for some producers due to the rains. Just curious if Le Cadeau got caught up in this as well.

I've only tried their wines once, and it was the 06's. They reminded me of an Oregon equivalent to Kosta Browne: big, rich, in your face and not subtle. Very distinctive with lots of individual characteristics.

In general Bud or these wines specifically?

I meant these. They've been a forum favorite in the past.

I'll be picking up a couple of each. They are year in and year out one of my favorite Pinots, along with R-C and Windy Oaks. Plus if I don't buy, Tom and Deb might not give me a ride home at the Christmas party.

Like Winetex, a few of these will be on our Thanksgiving table.  Circumstances dictate a reduction in wine purchases, though, so we'll probably only come in for 6 each, down from our usual order. 
Cheers, y'all
