The wine region of Moon Mountain District
Altitude AVA (200-2200 ft, AVA 2013) on the Mayacamas in Sonoma: signature Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel — intensely concentrated reds with deep black fruits, structured tannins from small thick-skinned berries on rocky volcanic soils rich in iron. Above the Sonoma fog, long season and south-west exposure. Also rich Syrah. Comparable to great Howell Mountain and Mount Veeder terroirs, signature long cellaring.
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: Evolved
Said of a wine showing by its colour (tuilé in the case of reds, amber in the case of whites), its aromas or its structure that it is nearing the end of its peak and needs to be drunk quickly.
