I'd suggest a '98 (anything newer may have a bit too much overwhelming fruit yet) Chehalem (small vineyard selection), WillaKenzie (French owners and winemakers!), Beaux Freres (part-owned by Rob't. Parker), Broadley (Claudia's Choice), Cristom (NOT Jefferson vineyard, but any other reserve), Archery Summit, and Brick House.
I'd stay away from Ken Wright, Tori Mor, Penn-Asher, especially...
If you cannot obtain the older ones, '99 and 2000 are excellent years: of course, decanting a couple of hours before consumption is a must!
