The wine region of Amador County
Historic heart of Californian Zinfandel in the Sierra Foothills (Gold Country): signature Zinfandel as king red (old vines >100 years) — powerful and spicy with notes of candied blackberry, plum, raspberry, black cherry, pepper and a cocoa touch, round tannins and generous alcohols (14-16%). Rhône grapes (Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Viognier) as sunny backup, Italian (Sangiovese, Barbera). Hot high-altitude climate (300-600 m), decomposed granitic soils.
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: Shipping (liquor)
In champagne and wines made according to the traditional method, wine is added before corking to fill the void in the bottle created by disgorging. This added wine is often sweetened by sugar incorporated in variable proportions according to the style of wine sought (see dosage). Syn.: liqueur de dosage.
