The wine region of Sonoma Mountain
High-altitude AVA (up to 2,400 ft, AVA 1985, 800 acres) west of Sonoma Valley: Cabernet Sauvignon signature as king red — powerful, elegant reds with signature mid-palate richness, tannins both round and silky, depth without weight. Vines on the sunny east-facing slope above the fog. Pinot Noir on cooler western slopes. Distinctive thermal belt: mild nights and tempered days, a singular Sonoma elegance.
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: Bordeaux barrel
Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
