The wine region of Solano County
Californian North Coast county halfway between San Francisco and Sacramento (San Pablo Bay moderating, Vaca Range, sub-AVAs Suisun Valley and Green Valley). Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah flagship reds in warmer Suisun Valley: rich fruity and structured Bordeaux style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Pinot Gris in cooler Green Valley: chiselled aromas with warm-day/cool-night terroir expression. Suisun Valley among the oldest AVAs.
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: Anthocyanins
Phenolic compounds present in the skin of grapes that give colour to red wines during maceration.
