Discover the grape variety: Ravat noir
Deeply coloured, simple fruity reds with a sustained purple colour, soft tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity, showing aromas of black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry) and discreet herbal notes. Productive and disease resistant. Grown in small quantities in France and Canada (Quebec) for rigorous continental viticultural climates. French black hybrid obtained by Jean-François Ravat in the early 20th century, a witness to French post-phylloxera hybridisation.

The wine region of Redwood Valley
High-altitude AVA (1997) in central Mendocino planted by Italians among the redwoods: Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Merlot and Pinot Noir are signature refined and complex reds — gradual ripening thanks to Pacific air through a coastal gap. Higher acidity and later maturity than Ukiah Valley. Signature red soils, many organic producers, fresh Italian heritage identity.
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: AOC
Appellation d'origine contrôlée. The most prestigious category of French wines created in the 1930s on the basis of quality criteria defined by a geographical delimitation, a chosen grape variety and precise production rules.
