The wine region of High Valley
Altitude AVA (2005) east of Lake County (California) on the shores of Clear Lake, vines up to 3,000 ft: Syrah, Petite Sirah and Grenache as dark and silky reds, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio and Riesling at cooler elevations. Shallow volcanic soils — sand, gravel and tephra from dormant Round Mountain volcano — draining, producing small, concentrated berries. Lake breezes and diurnal temperature swings provide refreshing coolness.
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: Sulphur
An antiseptic and antioxidant substance known since antiquity, probably already used by the Romans. But it was only in modern times that its use was rediscovered. It will allow a better conservation of the wine and thus favour its export. Sulphur also gave the 18th century winegrower the possibility of extending the maceration period without fearing that the wine would turn sour and thus go from dark rosé wines to the red wines of today. Excessive sulphur, on the other hand, kills happiness, paralysing the aromas and causing headaches.
