The wine region of Contra Costa County

Historic AVA of San Francisco Bay with century-old vines on deep sands (Brentwood, Oakley): Zinfandel signature from old vines planted 100+ years ago (Evangelho, Bigelow, Mazzoni) — concentrated and earthy reds with intense black fruits, spices and firm tannins. Robust and structured patrimonial Mourvèdre (Mataro) and Carignan. Draining sands restricting yields, small berries with thick skins. Also Petite Sirah.


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: Suave

Said of a fine and unctuous wine.
