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: Thinning
Also known as green harvesting, the practice of removing excess bunches of grapes from certain vines, usually in July, but sometimes later. This is often necessary, but not always a good thing, as the remaining bunches often gain weight.
