Barbera, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Syrah, Grenache and Rhône Viognier as complements. Decomposed granite soils, schists and volcanic remnants, infertile drainage.

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).
