Anne Gros was in a distinct minority among the growers I visited in November in telling me that although the 2008s are more complex than the 2007s, they are wines to drink early. She waited longer than usual to start harvesting in 2008 and then picked slowly, ultimately bringing in a small crop following a serious selection. "The wines are fruity but not ambitious," she told me. "The tannins are refined but the wines lack the acidity for long aging." Still, she prefers the young 2008s to the 2007s. (A Peter Vezan selection; importers include North Berkeley Imports, Berkeley, CA; Michael Skurnik Wines, Syosset, NY; and The Stacole Company, Boca Raton, FL; also imported by Atherton Wine Imports, Atherton, CA)
