Joel Peterson describes 2007 as "a drought year, with only about 60% of our average rainfall." Moderate temperatures throughout the year kept ripeness in check, he said, which allowed the grapes to develop full maturity, without the risk imposed by heat spikes. "The hallmark of the 2007 vintage is spice," he told me, "along with exotic fruit expression. It is a lot like 2001, but riper and more powerful." Also recommended: 2007 Chardonnay Vintners Blend California (86), 2006 Zinfandel Vintners Blend California (86), 2006 Merlot Vintners Blend California (85).
