Chameleon whites with taut acidity, ranging from mineral dry (Savennières, Vouvray sec) to off-dry and medium-sweet (Vouvray, Montlouis), sumptuous botrytised sweet (Quarts-de-Chaume, Bonnezeaux, Coteaux du Layon) and brilliant sparkling (Crémant de Loire, Vouvray brut). Aromas of quince, apple, honey, white flowers, beeswax and flint. An Anjou variety, also star of South Africa's Western Cape.
Idaho's first AVA, extending into eastern Oregon, with high-altitude vineyards (760-915 m) in the Rockies. Strong day-night thermal swings. Signature Syrah at Rhône latitude: elegant and fresh with signature notes of blackberry, black cherry, black pepper, violet, black olive and a spicy touch, firm tannins — a finely chiselled cool-climate style. Solar Grenache and Mourvèdre, firm Cabernet, approachable Tempranillo.
