The wine region of Lake County
Northern California county (North Coast) at altitude around Clear Lake: signature Cabernet Sauvignon as the royal red — concentrated with notes of black cherry, plum, blackcurrant and a spicy herbal touch, firm tannins (flagship Red Hills). Signature Sauvignon Blanc as the royal white (Big Valley) — fresh and tropical with notes of citrus, yellow fruit, flint and flowers. Sun-loving Zinfandel and Syrah in support. AVA, red volcanic soils, altitude 400-800 m.
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: Bleeding
Old practice for red wines. As soon as the vat is filled with grapes, the tap is opened. A sweet but clear juice escapes from the vat (it can also be used to make rosé). The colour and density of the juice is enhanced, but it should not be overdone. Rarely more than 10% of the volume of a vat, otherwise you risk losing fruit and bringing in bitterness.
