Californian North Coast county halfway between San Francisco and Sacramento (San Pablo Bay moderating, Vaca Range, sub-AVAs Suisun Valley and Green Valley). Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah flagship reds in warmer Suisun Valley: rich fruity and structured Bordeaux style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Pinot Gris in cooler Green Valley: chiselled aromas with warm-day/cool-night terroir expression. Suisun Valley among the oldest AVAs.
Light, lively whites with a tender palate and low acidity, with discreet aromas of fresh hazelnut, white flowers, light honey, apple and strongly terroir-driven mineral notes ("chameleon wine" of Swiss soils). Made as dry, often slightly sparkling whites. Absolute star of Vaud (Dézaley, Calamin, Lavaux Grand Cru) and Valais (Fendant) in Switzerland. Also in Pouilly-sur-Loire AOC and the German Jura.
