The wine region of Bennett Valley
Cool AVA south of Santa Rosa (2003, 650 acres) between Sonoma Mountain and Taylor Mountain: emblematic Merlot signature (42% of plantings) — concentrated reds with black cherry, plum and earthy notes, firm refined tannins. Chardonnay (30%), Pinot Noir and Syrah also remarkable. Syrah on rocky slopes deep and peppery. Crane Canyon lets in fog and winds from Petaluma Gap, volcanic clay soils.

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: Malic (acid)
