The wine region of Ramona Valley
AVA Heart of San Diego Wine Country (~89,000 acres, 168th American AVA 2005, 320 frost-free days): Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Syrah, Tempranillo, Barbera and Zinfandel as red kings — concentrated and full-bodied with ripe fruits, sustained tannic structure, warm expression. Viognier, Marsanne, Roussanne, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscat Canelli in whites. Warm dry climate influenced by Pacific Ocean (morning mists, breezes) and Colorado desert, intense terroir.
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: Lies
A deposit formed by dead yeast after fermentation. Some white wines are aged on their lees, which makes their aromas and structure more complex and richer.
