Arroyo Seco is an iffy place to grow Pinot or any red wine. Cool and windswept, it needs a warmer vintage, which 2007 wasn't. Rochelle's new bottling is very dry and acidic. It lacks a bit of generosity, in the green mint edge to the cherries. But it's very elegant, with an appealing minerality. Drink now.
