The wine region of El Dorado
High-altitude AVA in the Sierra Foothills east of Sacramento (California): signature dominant Zinfandel as king red — full, vivid reds with concentrated dark fruit, spice and fleshy tannins. Also Italian Barbera, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and structuring Petite Sirah. Strong Rhône tradition with Viognier, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Grenache. Cooling by altitude rather than fog, sunny ripeness with preserved acidity, eclectic identity of the modern Gold Rush.
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: Power
Character of a wine that is full-bodied, generous and has a rich bouquet.
