The wine region of Cienega Valley
AVA of San Benito County (1982) south of Hollister, crossed by the San Andreas Fault: granite-sandstone soils to the east and granite-limestone to the west, draining and poor. Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon and Negrette from old vines as signature complex and elegant reds. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay also notable. Moderate climate sheltered by mountains, Monterey Bay breezes, marked thermal swings.
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: Bleeding
Old practice for red wines. As soon as the vat is filled with grapes, the tap is opened. A sweet but clear juice escapes from the vat (it can also be used to make rosé). The colour and density of the juice is enhanced, but it should not be overdone. Rarely more than 10% of the volume of a vat, otherwise you risk losing fruit and bringing in bitterness.
