The wine region of Alexander Valley
Sonoma's warmest AVA on gravelly soils: signature Cabernet Sauvignon as king (>50% of plantings) — powerful, elegant reds with ripe black fruits, dry herbs and tobacco, velvety tannins and fresh acidity, long ageing. Bordeaux blends with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec for structure and complexity. Also old-vine Zinfandel, balanced Merlot and Chardonnay. AVA recognised in 1984 in the Russian River valley, ripe tannic identity.
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: Guyot (pruning)
This is the most widespread pruning technique. It includes one or two long branches and allows the mechanization of a large number of vineyard operations.
