Simple, fruity reds with a pale colour, a light ruby robe, silky tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity. Understated aromas of red fruits. Discrete rustic profile. Nearly gone from commercial cultivation, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its heritage value; it reflects pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity. A rare French black grape, once grown in the centre and south-west.

The wine region of Santa Clara Valley
Historic Bay Area AVA south of San Francisco (23 grape varieties): signature Cabernet Sauvignon dominant as red king on warm hillsides — structured concentrated reds with ripe dark fruits, firm tannins. Heritage Zinfandel and Petite Sirah, spicy and fleshy. Also Merlot, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Chardonnay. Revival around Italian grapes (Sangiovese, Barbera, Nebbiolo).
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).
