Details and technical informations about Winery Metate Hill's California Crianza Red Garnacha Cariñena.
Discover the grape variety: Aramon
Light and supple reds with a lightly coloured ruby robe, melted tannins and moderate acidity, with simple aromas of red fruits (cherry, strawberry), floral notes and a rustic profile. Easy-drinking, low-alcohol thirst-quenchers best drunk young. Once ubiquitous in the 19th century, now marginal but preserved in IGP Pays d'Hérault. An autochthonous Languedoc variety, currently in revival for modern light cuvées.

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: Vintage (champagne)
It is a champagne made from a single harvest. In principle, we only vintage the great years: 1988, 1990, 1995, 1996... We find more often, now, the very good 2002, and the 2004, a little short.
