The wine region of Santa Clara Valley
Historic Bay Area AVA south of San Francisco (23 grape varieties): signature Cabernet Sauvignon dominant as red king on warm hillsides — structured concentrated reds with ripe dark fruits, firm tannins. Heritage Zinfandel and Petite Sirah, spicy and fleshy. Also Merlot, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Chardonnay. Revival around Italian grapes (Sangiovese, Barbera, Nebbiolo).
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: Phylloxera
Aphid that came from America and ravaged European vineyards at the end of the 19th century. It lives on the roots of the vine, from which it pumps the sap. The only vines capable of resisting it had to be imported from the United States, and then grafted onto their root system the wood of traditional French grape varieties. Today, grafted vines are always planted.
