The wine region of Edna Valley
First AVA of San Luis Obispo (1982) parallel to the coast over 10 miles: Chardonnay signature king white and Pinot Noir king red — cool climate and long season giving fine wines with moderate alcohol (13. 5-14. 2°) and pronounced acidity. Green apple, Meyer citrus, stone fruit and saline minerality on Chardonnays, fresh cherry and sweet spice on Pinot Noirs.
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: Maceration
Prolonged contact and exchange between the juice and the grape solids, especially the skin. Not to be confused with the time of fermentation, which follows maceration. The juice becomes loaded with colouring matter and tannins, and acquires aromas. For a rosé, the maceration is short so that the colour does not "rise" too much. For white wines too, a "pellicular maceration" can be practised, which allows the wine to acquire more fat.
