The wine region of Red Hills Lake County
AVA south of Mount Konocti (Lake County) on red volcanic soils (>90%) with black obsidian and quartz: signature ultra-dominant Cabernet Sauvignon — big, bold reds with complex black fruits (wild blackberries, cherries, spice), signature earthy and mineral notes. Small thick-skinned berries producing concentrated, structured wines, fine tannins from obsidian. Volcanic mountain identity, graceful long cellaring.
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: Green harvest or 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 grapes tend to gain weight.
