The wine region of Santa Maria Valley

First AVA of Santa Barbara (1981) on an east-west valley swept by Pacific winds: signature Pinot Noir dominant as king red with herbaceous, savoury notes and lifted red fruits, fine acidity and silky tannins. Energetic Chardonnay with tropical and floral aromas, king whites (a third of production). Also Rhône Syrah and Viognier, confidential Grenache and Marsanne. Very cool climate over a long season, a Burgundian and northern-Rhône 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: Passerillage

Concentration of the grape by drying out, under the influence of wind or sun, as opposed to botrytisation, which is the concentration obtained by the development of the "noble rot" for which Botrytis cinerea is responsible. The word is mainly used for sweet wines.
