The wine region of Santa Ynez Valley
Highly diverse east-west Santa Barbara AVA (1°F rise per mile inland, AVA 1983, 70+ grapes): cool in the west, Pinot Noir reigns in reds and vibrant Chardonnay in whites. Central Ballard Canyon, fleshy, spicy Syrah. Hotter east, structured Bordeaux Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, Rhône varieties. Also Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Gewurztraminer.
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: Consistency
In tasting, it is the equivalent of chewing (the chewiness of a tannic red wine is also mentioned). We then speak of firmness, fluidity, softness, hardness, and why not the crunchiness of an early wine by reference to the grape.
