La Follette Wines - Greg La Follette's new project - he used to be with Tandem, Deloach, et al
Ladd Cellars - Eric Lundblad's label; new source for pinot - I have watched him work and I think there is promise here - tasted only once

Nothing I can put my finger on, but these three are being talked about here:
Villa Creek Cellars
Vitus
Voss Vineyards

Westerhold Family Vineyards - I am very familiar with this label; at HdR they won the syrah taste-off that is judged by winemakers; Russell Bevan is winemaker and John Westerhold is the most committed and fastidious owner I have met. These are big, CA styled wines but they are excellent and have a sense of place.

Best, Jim
