The wine region of Madera
Central California AVA (Central Valley, Madera and Fresno counties, ~230,000 acres, 1984): Muscat the white signature for fortified and dessert wines in Port style — Zinfandel, Grenache, Syrah, Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, French Colombard and Merlot as signatures in bulk and quality reds and whites — rich and concentrated signature profile. ~10% of California's grape production. Flat fertile alluvial loam soils, hot arid climate, mild winters, river moderation.
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: Downy mildew
Disease of the vine due to a fungus. Downy mildew is formidable because it attacks all the organs, from the stem to the grapes, including the leaves, in depth. It was against it that the famous copper and lime-based Bordeaux mixture was developed.
