The wine region of Fiddletown
AVA in the high Sierra Foothills of Amador County, California (1983), on the eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada at 460–760 m, volcanic and granitic well-drained soils, continental climate with warm summers and cool nights. Zinfandel from old vines is the signature red: concentrated ripe red and black fruit, spice, and altitude-driven acidity. Syrah, Barbera and Tempranillo as complements. About 20 % of Amador County wines.
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: Petite arvine
An ancient white grape variety from the Valais (Switzerland), which produces renowned wines suitable for ageing. Viney and sustained by a strong vivacity, these wines express a fine salty touch, the signature of this variety. Petite arvine wines can be dry, tender or made from withered grapes from late harvesting. Syn.: arvine.
