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: Astringency
Chemical stimulation that tightens the mucous membranes of the mouth and causes a sensation of harshness, which is characteristic of the presence of tannins. With time, the tannins lose their harshness and become softer.
