The wine region of Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara
Warmest sub-zone of Santa Ynez Valley (AVA 2009, 400 acres) east of Santa Barbara: signature Bordeaux varieties — Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot in rich ripe reds, emblematic tense Sauvignon Blanc. Sand, gravel and clay soils with rare serpentinite, low yields concentrating aromas. Flavor preceding sugar at ripening: signature depth, ripe fruits, firm tannins and lively acidity.
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: Table wine
Everything that is not VQPRD (European designation for all appellation wines: quality wine produced in a specific region). In principle, the bottom of the ladder. But, as in Italy a decade ago (Vino da Tavola), this category is also a refuge for wines that are out of the ordinary, whose producers refuse to accept certain grape variety or vinification dictates.
