...speak for the whole industry or even all the Bordeaux producers. Each has his own opinions and particular style of winemaking. Some stick more to tradition, others go with the current trends. I'd say your guy is part of the latter, so don't take it too seriously.

Even before this conversation I had read articles in WS and the local paper's wine column regarding this change.
The classified wines will always have a pretty much guaranteed market, so they don't have to change. It's the huge group below them that has to compete with the U.S, Australia, South America, and others worldwide.

  ...for example, zinfadels are my favorite varietal which I have been drinking and collecting since the early 1980s. In the late 1980, many zin producers switched to a lighter, fruitier style. Now everything is pretty much big, bold, alcoholic and overripe. Trends come and go.

    Yes...trends do come and go but white zin will never touch these lips.
