The wine region of Anderson Valley
Cool, foggy Navarro River valley in Mendocino (AVA 1983): ultra-dominant signature Pinot Noir as king red (69%) — refined, taut reds, saline acidity and aromas of cherry and sweet spices. Lively, taut Chardonnay (21%) as king white. Aromatic Alsatian Gewurztraminer (4%) and Riesling (1%), floral Pinot Gris. A speciality of traditional-method sparkling wines (Roederer, Scharffenberger), a maritime Burgundian and Alsatian identity.

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).
