The wine region of Pine Mountain-Cloverdale Peak
AVA (2011, 4,750 acres) straddling Sonoma-Mendocino east of Cloverdale on the slopes of Pine Mountain (3,000 ft): Cabernet Sauvignon dominates (80%) in vibrant, fruity mountain wines with distinguished tannins, Merlot a minority — red fruits, wild brambles and mountain structure. Vines above 1,600 ft (above Alexander Valley fog), thin soils (<12 inches on 50%), steep slopes, cooling winds — extreme concentration.
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: Pressing
Mechanical action consisting of pressing the grapes (before fermentation for whites) or the marc soaked in wine (after fermentation for reds).
