The wine region of Napa Valley

Absolute reference for American Cabernet Sauvignon: powerful, opulent reds with ripe aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, chocolate and cedar, velvety tannins and a silky finish, long ageing. Also round Merlot, rich buttery Chardonnay, fruity Sauvignon Blanc, spicy Zinfandel. Narrow Californian valley between the Mayacamas and Vaca Mountains, tempered by San Pablo Bay fog, 17 sub-AVAs (Oakville, Rutherford, Stags Leap, Howell Mountain). Cradle of icons Opus One, Screaming Eagle, Caymus.


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: Velouté

Said of a wine that is soft and caressing in the mouth.
