A very good effort is the 2006 Pinot Noir Far Coast Vineyard. Made from Dijon Clone 777, and aged in 50% new French oak, it exhibits aromas of damp earth, black raspberries, sweet and sour cherries, and hints of roasted herb and forest floor.
After two challenging vintages for Zinfandel (2005 and 2006), 2007 offers considerable promise for a return to the beautiful ripe fruit and seductive power of Zinfandel.
