The wine region of Redwood Valley
High-altitude AVA (1997) in central Mendocino planted by Italians among the redwoods: Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Merlot and Pinot Noir are signature refined and complex reds — gradual ripening thanks to Pacific air through a coastal gap. Higher acidity and later maturity than Ukiah Valley. Signature red soils, many organic producers, fresh Italian heritage identity.
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).
