The wine region of Arroyo Seco
Central AVA of Salinas Valley in Monterey (California): Chardonnay flagship white dominant (one of the largest US plantings) — lively and mineral with citrus and white fruits notes, bursting acidity. Aromatic Alsatian Riesling and Gewürztraminer on the long cool season. Floral Sauvignon Musqué recent. Taut Pinot Noir on maritime climate, Bordeaux Cabernet and Merlot on warm pockets.
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: Rootstock
American vine on which a French vine is grafted. This is the consequence of the phylloxera that destroyed the vineyard at the end of the 19th century: after much trial and error, it was discovered that the "pest" spared the roots of the American vines, and the technique became widespread.
