Discover the grape variety: Perdéa
Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden colour, a supple palate with moderate acidity, and understated aromas of citrus and white flowers. Discreet rustic profile. Nearly extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its heritage value, it reflects the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-West. A rare French white grape variety once cultivated in the South-West.

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).
The word of the wine: Clos
Plot of vines surrounded by walls. Many Burgundian climates are clos.
