The wine region of Edna Valley
First AVA of San Luis Obispo (1982) parallel to the coast over 10 miles: Chardonnay signature king white and Pinot Noir king red — cool climate and long season giving fine wines with moderate alcohol (13. 5-14. 2°) and pronounced acidity. Green apple, Meyer citrus, stone fruit and saline minerality on Chardonnays, fresh cherry and sweet spice on Pinot Noirs.
The wine region of California
Powerful, sunny reds: dense Napa Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, chocolate, tobacco, ample tannins), spicy, jammy Zinfandel from the Sierra Foothills, silky red-fruited Pinot Noir on the cool coast (Sonoma, Russian River, Central Coast). Opulent, buttery Chardonnay, notes of yellow fruit and vanilla. Varied climate, from the hot interior to the Pacific-cooled coast. 80% of US production, 139 AVAs including Napa (1st AVA, 1981).
The word of the wine: Bordeaux barrel
Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
