The wine region of Clear Lake
AVA of Lake County (1984, North Coast California) around Clear Lake, California's largest freshwater lake: one of the coolest climates thanks to altitude and the moderating effect of the lake. Sauvignon Blanc is the signature with savoury and fruity notes with vibrant herbaceous character; Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Zinfandel are concentrated and bright reds. Five nested sub-AVAs (High Valley, Red Hills, Big Valley, Kelsey Bench, Benmore Valley), distinctive bright and fresh profile.
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.
