Discover the grape variety: Léon Millot
Coloured, fruity reds with a dense purple robe, supple tannins and fresh acidity, showing aromas of black cherry, blackberry, plum, blackcurrant, sweet spices and earthy, slightly foxy notes. Round palate, best drunk young. Very cold- and disease-resistant interspecific variety, driving northern vineyards: Canada (Quebec, Ontario, Nova Scotia), the US North-East and England. Hybrid created in 1911 by Eugène Kuhlmann in Alsace, full sibling of maréchal foch.

The wine region of Santa Maria Valley
First AVA of Santa Barbara (1981) on an east-west valley swept by Pacific winds: signature Pinot Noir dominant as king red with herbaceous, savoury notes and lifted red fruits, fine acidity and silky tannins. Energetic Chardonnay with tropical and floral aromas, king whites (a third of production). Also Rhône Syrah and Viognier, confidential Grenache and Marsanne. Very cool climate over a long season, a Burgundian and northern-Rhône identity.
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).
