The wine region of El Dorado County
Sierra Foothills AVA in California (AVA 1983, 1,500-2,500 ft): signature Zinfandel as red king — bright bold claret-style profile, unique with intense blackberry, black cherry, spice and peppery notes, vivid acidity preserved by altitude and massive diurnal swing. Barbera, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Syrah, Grenache and Rhône Viognier as complements. Decomposed granite soils, schists and volcanic remnants, infertile drainage.
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).
