The wine region of Chalone
First AVA of Monterey County (1982), 8,640 acres at 1,800 ft in the Gabilan Mountains: California's only AVA on Burgundy-comparable limestone. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir signature varieties (~100 acres each) — Chardonnay with stone fruit, lemon curd and toasted hazelnut, wet stone minerality and saline chalky texture from limestone. Elegant structured Pinot Noir. Decomposed granite, 50°F thermal amplitude, 12-14 in rainfall, rare mineral 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: Champagne rosé
Often obtained by adding red wines (from Champagne), it is even the only vineyard where this practice is allowed. Some producers prefer the practice used in other regions, i.e. a short maceration to extract sufficient colouring matter. This results in winey rosés for meals. Elegant aperitif rosé is more often made from red wine coloured Chardonnay. Rosés can be vintage or non vintage.
