The wine region of Clarksburg
Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta AVA (California) cooled by the Delta Breeze: signature Chenin Blanc as king white — whites with chiseled acidity and honeyed notes, white fruits and floral touches, signature local balance. Plump and tannic Petite Sirah as king red on hot days — concentration of black fruits and spices. 35+ grape varieties grown on fertile alluvial soils, ~40°F temperature swing preserving acidity, fresh identity atypical in Central Valley.
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: Rich
Said of a complex and concentrated wine, whose power suggests a good capacity for ageing.
