We tasted through the 2007 Start Your Own Winery Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris this past Sunday. It is amazing how different wines can be from vintage to vintage. It is a little hard to tell right now because it’s so young, but the wine seems to have more structure than the ’06, with more density than last year and more tannins. It is darker at this point as well. We noted that several of the barrels were beginning malo-lactic fermentation (a type of fermentation that involves the conversion of malic acid to lactic acid), and were softening. I am cautiously optimistic about the 2007 vintage as a whole.
