The wine region of Santa Lucia Highlands
Narrow AVA on the western slope of the Salinas Valley in Monterey (1992, ~5,000 ac): signature dominant Pinot Noir as king red (3,400 ac) — refined, taut reds with red fruits, silky and spicy, saline freshness. Chardonnay (2,100 ac) as a lively, mineral king white with notes of citrus and stone fruits. Syrah in warmer sheltered canyons, fleshy and peppery. Daily fogs from Monterey Bay lengthen the season, a premium fresh Burgundian and Rhone identity.
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: Reassembly
During the vinification process, a "cap" is formed at the top of the vats with the solid parts (skin, pulp, pips, etc.), which contain tannins and colouring elements. Pumping over consists of emptying the vat from the bottom and pouring the juice back to the top, in order to mix the cap and the juice and to favour the exchange and the extraction. This old technique allows a better exchange between the solid parts and the liquid.
