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: Juice
The juice of wine grapes (intended for wine making) is colourless. It is the anthocyanins contained in the grape skin that colour the juice during maceration.
