There are a couple. I know Sineann out of Oregon makes a zin that is nice, PacNW terroir, although it probably loses something in the translation from the classic attributes. Columbia Winery had a small release of a 2003 Zin last year (the winemaker there, david Lake, likes to play around with varietals that are not necessarily WA staples). Not great. His 03 barbera was good. He also makes a very nice Sangiovese. Had some of the 04 of that last night.
