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.
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: Breeding
It can last for several years. The bottles are stacked in the cellars and waited for the light and heat. The yeasts gradually give the wine compounds that enrich it. A long maturation is a guarantee of quality.
