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: Vinosity
When tasting a red wine, a pleasant sensation on the palate with a fruity and sappy character in harmony with a caressing and persistent presence of tannins.
