The wine region of Lodi
Self-proclaimed world capital of Zinfandel (>40% of premium Californian production): old-vine red king (plantings from 1888) — opulent and jammy with notes of blackberry, plum, raspberry, pepper, liquorice and a tobacco touch, coated tannins. Cabernet, Syrah, Merlot, Tempranillo, Albariño, Barbera and Primitivo in the palette (>100 grapes). Viognier and Chardonnay in whites. Central Californian AVA (1986) east of the bay, Mediterranean climate tempered by the delta.
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: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
