Light, simple fruity reds with a pale ruby robe, smooth tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity, showing understated red fruit aromas. Discreet rustic profile. Preserved in a few ampelographic collections for its heritage value, it belongs to the ancient varieties whose commercial spread has nearly vanished, studied for their genetic interest. Rare black variety, little documented, grown in confidential quantities.

The wine region of Pine Mountain-Cloverdale Peak
AVA (2011, 4,750 acres) straddling Sonoma-Mendocino east of Cloverdale on the slopes of Pine Mountain (3,000 ft): Cabernet Sauvignon dominates (80%) in vibrant, fruity mountain wines with distinguished tannins, Merlot a minority — red fruits, wild brambles and mountain structure. Vines above 1,600 ft (above Alexander Valley fog), thin soils (<12 inches on 50%), steep slopes, cooling winds — extreme concentration.
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).
