The wine region of Santa Barbara County

Californian star of cool climates (Central Coast): signature Pinot Noir as king of reds on the cool AVAs (Sta. Rita Hills, Santa Maria Valley) — fine and mineral with notes of cherry, raspberry, undergrowth, orange peel and spice, Burgundy-style acidity. Taut Chardonnay (citrus, apple, gunflint). Fleshy Syrah (Ballard Canyon).


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: Oxidative (breeding)

A method of ageing which aims to give the wine certain aromas of evolution (dried fruit, bitter orange, coffee, rancio, etc.) by exposing it to the air; it is then matured either in barrels, demi-muids or unoaked casks, sometimes stored in the open air, or in barrels exposed to the sun and to temperature variations. This type of maturation characterizes certain natural sweet wines, ports and other liqueur wines.
