Californian AVA in the south (San Bernardino-Riverside border, ~15 miles west of San Bernardino, hot desert >38°C, well-draining sandy and gravelly soils). Zinfandel is the overwhelming signature red (82% of the vineyard) — concentrated dark fruits, spice, age-worthy structure, and recognized longevity. Mourvèdre and Syrah as robust full-bodied reds, Sherry-style fortified wines. AVA 1995, Prohibition heritage, ~1,000 relic acres.
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: Cinsault
Cinsault is a southern black grape variety that can be found in the blends of most Mediterranean appellations, but most often as an accessory grape variety. It is undoubtedly most present in certain rosé wines (in Corbières, Côtes-de-Provence, etc.): it gives these wines highly appreciated aromas of strawberry, peach and raspberry. In vin de pays (IGP), it is often vinified on its own, usually as a rosé.
