Why not! After all Zinfandel was one of the first vines planted in Umpqua Valley in the 1880's! Only a few wineries produce a Zinfandel, Hillcrest and Delfino. I had the pleasure of sampling a bottle of the Delfino 2007 Zinfandel last night. Both Diane and I felt that the wine definately showed the highlights of a Zin and qualified on our list of "must share" wines at one of our many wine parties!
Point is: Our AVA can grow most any grape. While we are still experimenting with the best fit, it's comforting to know that we need not be limited to Pinot Noir only!! We'll never match the intensity of the Dry Creek Valley(Sonoma) Zin's but we are much more than a one-varietal wonder.
