The wine region of Tuolumne County
County of the Sierra Foothills in central California (vineyards at 600-1,200 m, rocky well-drained soils, marked diurnal swings between sunny days and cold alpine nights). Zinfandel is the Foothills flagship red — rustic, full-bodied profile with concentrated ripe fruits. Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Sangiovese and Aglianico as powerful spiced reds. Chardonnay, Viognier and Grenache as complements.
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: Dried
Said of a worn out red wine lacking flesh and volume.
