The wine region of Clements Hills
Sub-AVA of Lodi (2006) on the eastern Sierra Nevada foothills (California): Zinfandel from very old vines 1900-1920, dense red fruit profile with crushed berries, black tea, sweet spice and fine tannic finish — fresher structure than central Lodi, recalling Amador Zin. Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah and Rhône varieties complement. Gravelly loam and sandy-silty well-drained soils south of Mokelumne, moderate Mediterranean climate, Delta breezes.
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: Véraison
A phase in the vegetative cycle of the vine that takes place in summer, usually in August, when the grapes change colour from green to red (for reds) or yellow (for whites). This stage heralds the beginning of ripening.
