The wine region of San Pasqual Valley
Pioneer California AVA (1981, 4th US AVA, narrow valley 29 km north-east of San Diego at 33°N, poor draining granite soils, Mediterranean with cooling Pacific afternoon breezes). Syrah and Viognier are the Rhône flagship varieties — Syrah as a full-bodied red with spicy peppery notes, Viognier as an aromatic white with peach and apricot. Grenache, Merlot, Sangiovese, Tempranillo and Mourvèdre as Mediterranean complements.
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: Film maceration
A technique that consists of leaving the grapes to macerate in the open air at a low temperature before fermentation, thus enhancing the aromatic expression of the wine.
