The wine region of Rockpile
Extreme northwest mountain AVA of Sonoma above Lake Sonoma (AVA 2002, 160 acres) at minimum 800 ft elevation: Zinfandel is the signature red king — concentrated with deep dark fruit intensity, peppery spices, mineral salinity and high acidity distinct from valley-floor Zins. Also fleshy Petite Sirah and structured Cabernet. Sandstone and thin schist soils over ferruginous red clay, signature lake thermal inversion.
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: INAO glass
Glass adapted to wine tasting, created in the 1970s by the Institut national des appellations d'origine. At the time, it had the advantage of offering a standardised tool to all tasters. It is characterized by a wide base that allows for good ventilation and a narrow mouth (opening of the glass) to concentrate the aromas. Many high-performance glasses have been created based on this model.
