EIEIO Oregon pinots

[Cole]

Addendum: I think Jay added the letter codes for the '99 releases (I'll have to ask him ot be sure). My bottles are '98s and I think his formula then was color coded only. He gave me a bottle of a 1999 "red cap" EIEIO (a whole 'nother level of marketing granulatrity to deal with?) and when I looked at the label I found the outlined "I" as RAD described, but man, it was WAY hard to detect! But if you know Jay, his way is the best way (in his mind). And though I make light of it, I have tremendous respect for Jay and his Pinot knowledge (as opinionated as he can be). He runs The Tasting Room in Carlton under the niche of offering for taste wines from wineries that have no tasting rooms (Beaux Freres, McKinlay, Brooks, etc.), and he runs his negociant business nationwide with what I still claim is an excellent value in good quality Pinot No R.
