The wine region of Carmel Valley
Monterey AVA 16 km from the ocean: dominant Bordeaux varieties — Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot (>70%) in rich, full-bodied reds. Well-drained gravelly terraces, hot days and cool nights ideal for Bordeaux grapes. Cachagua Valley above the fog exposes to warmer climate, marked thermal swings and progressive ripening generating fruit and tannic complexity. Bordeaux identity of the 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).
