Discover the grape variety: Malbec
Deep, velvety reds with an intense purple colour, showing aromas of blackberry, black plum, violet, cocoa and gentle spice. Round tannins, fleshy palate, peppery length. Star of Cahors AOC (Côt, Auxerrois) in France and the absolute signature of Mendoza, Argentina (Uco Valley, Luján de Cuyo). A French South-West variety that became the Argentine emblem after its post-phylloxera decline.

The wine region of San Francisco Bay
Multi-county AVA north of the Central Coast (Alameda, Contra Costa, Santa Clara…): Cabernet Sauvignon is the ruling red (~24%), followed by Chardonnay (~19%), old-vine Zinfandel (~10%), Merlot, Pinot Noir and Petite Sirah. Contrasting signature profiles — racy, fresh Pinot and Chardonnay along foggy maritime hills; bold, rustic Cabernet and Zin inland with intense blackberry, black cherry and spice. Bay breezes and fog moderate.
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: Density per hectare
Number of vines per hectare. For the same yield, a vine planted with 3,000 vines per hectare bears many more bunches (per vine) than a vine planted with 10,000. The grapes will therefore be less rich in sugar and polyphenols (tannins, aromas...).
