The wine region of Fair Play
Sierra Nevada foothill AVA (El Dorado County, 21,000 acres, 600-900 m, California's second-highest average altitude, decomposed granite): Zinfandel signature red — bright red fruits (raspberry, berries), spiced notes and impressive depth, tannic complexity forged by thermal amplitude. Syrah, Barbera, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache complement. Hot days and cool altitude nights build polyphenols and complex aromas.
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: Harmonious
Balance of the different organoleptic elements of a wine. This harmony is linked to the typicity of each wine. The sweetness of a sweet wine is an element of its balance, whereas a Sancerre or a Chablis will be asked to be lively and dry.
